We recommend you create a sperated username/password for dbface to connect to your database, for MySQL:

create user 'thenewusername'@'52.221.20.99' identified by 'thenewuserpassword';

grant all privileges on thedatabase.* to 'thenewusername'@'52.221.20.99'

!!! tip “Recommend” If you just creating query applications which only access the databases, please create readonly database users for the databases.

!!! note “Be careful” Please update your server’s firewall to allow DbFace to connect to your database server. If you’ve got any issues, please contact us to get free support.
