To remove a database username in Plesk, you need to delete the user associated with a database. This action will prevent the user from accessing the database. Here’s how you can do it:
Step-by-Step Guide to Remove a Database Username in Plesk:
Step 1: Log in to Plesk
- Open your Plesk control panel by navigating to
https://your-domain.com:8443(replaceyour-domain.comwith your actual domain or server IP address). - Enter your admin username and password to log in.
Step 2: Access the Database Management Section
- Once logged in, go to the "Websites & Domains" tab from the Plesk dashboard.
- Under the domain for which you want to remove the database username, click on "Databases". This will open the Database Management page.
Step 3: Find the Database
- On the Databases page, locate the database for which you want to remove the user.
- Click on the database name to open its details.
Step 4: Access the Database Users Section
- In the database details page, find the "Database Users" section.
Step 4: Access the Database Users Section (Continued)
- In the Database Users section, you’ll see a list of all users associated with the selected database.
- Find the user you want to remove.
Step 5: Remove the Database User
- Next to the username you want to remove, click on the "Remove" link (or trash can icon).
- A confirmation prompt will appear, asking you to confirm the removal of the user.
Step 6: Confirm Removal
- Confirm the action by clicking "OK" or "Yes" to remove the user.
- The user will be removed from the database, and they will no longer have access to it.
Important Considerations:
- Data Access: Removing a user from the database means they will no longer have access to it, so make sure you don't need the user to manage or interact with the database.
- Database Integrity: Make sure that any application or website relying on that user for database access is updated to avoid disruption. For example, if the user is associated with a WordPress site, you will need to update the
wp-config.phpfile to use a new user if necessary.
By following these steps, you can easily remove a database username in Plesk. Removing a user from a database ensures that they can no longer interact with the data, helping maintain database security and integrity.
