# Database Users

> Create and manage database users with specific permissions.

Database Users
--------------

Managed databases come with a primary user created automatically. You can create additional users for different applications or team members, each with their own credentials.

### Creating a User

1. Navigate to your database
2. Go to the **Users** tab
3. Click **Create user**
4. Enter a **username**
5. Click **Create**

A secure password will be generated automatically. You can reset the password at any time.

### Resetting a Password

If you need to change a user's password:

1. Go to the **Users** tab
2. Find the user
3. Click **Reset password**
4. A new secure password will be generated

**Important:** Any applications using the old password will lose access immediately. Update your application's configuration with the new password.

### Deleting a User

To remove a user:

1. Go to the **Users** tab
2. Find the user you want to delete
3. Click the delete button
4. Confirm the deletion

The user will be removed and all their connections will be terminated immediately.

### Best Practices

- **Use separate users per application** - Don't share credentials across different services
- **Use the primary user for admin tasks only** - Create dedicated users for application access
- **Rotate passwords regularly** - Reset passwords periodically for security
- **Remove unused users** - Delete users that are no longer needed
