I had a suspicion it might be, which is why I asked the question.
So if I want to take advantage of the MySQL offering from my provider (it is
free as it's part of the contract that I have with them), I only use
PHPMyAdmin to initially populate, configure and structure the database?
So I would probably have to use something else for the users so are there any
suggestions? Or is this going to need a bespoke development, necessitating
the use of Flask, Django or similar?
My database experience is quite limited, being confined to being a User of the
CMS I mentioned earlier, simple tasks using MS Access and even simpler ones
using an early Mac tool that I think was called 4th Dimension (that was about
25 years ago). Hence my rather naive questions.

I might take you up on that. My experience of web development is definitely
beginner level, of Python only slightly more (as some of my posts on this list
will testify) and I've never used Django.
Having said that, at the moment I'm just exploring all the options and don't
expect to do much active development on this until we've completed some
hardware development that is currently ongoing (or at least reach a slack
point, while I wait for some dependency to come through.
