I would like to give temporary access to the database for troubleshooting by a support group. I do not wish to give them my permanent login. Is there a way to do this? thanks

Hello Soazkaren, Thank you for your question. The only way to allow access to PHPmyAdmin is to share your cPanel login credentials. You can however create additional database users, and add them to a database. Then add the support staff's IP addresses to remote MySQL. This way they can connect remotely to the database and perform any modification that can be done in PHPmyAdmin. You can then just delete their database users when they are done assisting you. If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below. Thank you, -John-Paul
