2. Go to your MySQL deployments page, and select the cluster you wish to create a new database user on.
3. Select the ‘Users‘ tab, and then click the ‘New User’ button.
4. In the ‘New User’ window, select your desired database from the ‘Select databases(s) user has permissions to access’ dropdown.
5. Enter a ‘Name’ and ‘Password’ for the new user.
6. In the ‘Role’ dropdown, select either ‘Read – Write’ or 'Read - Only' to assign your new users a role. When selecting 'Read - Write', the new user will have full write permissions on this database.
7. Click 'Create' to create a new MySQL user for your database.
