you give the root user all privileges (see GRANT command) (but this should be set by default, anyway) and no (global) privileges (that is, 'usage') for other users. then you give the users only contents/structure related rights on their databases.
did you try phpmyadmin for this yet? it's a bit tricky, but it's very close to mysql's view of things, so you can learn easily by looking at the mysql commands generated. -- Yves Goergen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please don't CC me (causes double mails) -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: "System Administrator a.k.a.
