    Hi. I wanted to know, how i can separate a user (an account) from phpMyAdmin. Let me list what exact i need to do.

    I have a server (and i have all access to the server).
    I need someone to do some work on my site for (i.e. a subdomain - folder).
    I have created an ftp account for that directory only.
    Now I want to know how to have this person access the database and make the changes I need, without giving him full access to the cPanel. basically he needs the info to the phpMyAdmin, but i noticed that the only way I can access phpMyAdmin is from the cPanel. At least this is the only way I know how. Can some1 please help with this. Thanks!

    Install a separate phpMyAdmin if needed, and create a mysql user especially for that person with only the least needed privileges.

    Google is full of info about this.
