Introduction

The RDS supports the creation of a common account and a high-privilege account. Herein, the high-privilege account has more privileges relative to the common account and performs more fine-grained privilege control. For detailed steps on the creation of an account and detailed instructions on account privilege, see Manage Database Account.

Create a common account

1. On the "Account Management" page of the instance, you can see the list of created accounts and the account information.
2. Click the "Create an Account" button to enter the "Create an Account" subpage.

Notes:

• You are not allowed to add a common account named "root", but you may add the high-privilege account named "root".
• Reserved keywords such as admin, guest, and SQL statement cannot be used when creating an account.

3. Set an account name and password and click "OK" to create an account.

Create a high-privilege account

The RDS for Mysql supports high-privilege "super" account, and higher user privilege means more fine-grained privilege management.

Enter the instance's "Account Management" page, select "Create a Super Account", and fill in the account number, password, and remarks information according to the prompts on the page. After successful creation, you can see the "Account Type" is a master instance "super" account in the account list. Also, you are entitled to password modification or account deletion on the "Account List" page.
