Hmm..
I am familiar with PMA. I would for the purpose of this project consider it
too technical for the target user base. The point is to create a GUI layer
that would manage these things.
For example, the 'add client' screen would ask for four things; name,
description, username and password. Then behind the scenes a database would
be created, the user created, permissions granted and a pre-configure set of
tables built (and populated).
My reservations come from security issues (which, as an aside, are also
discussed about PMA), allowing a normal user account CREATE and GRANT on the
database.
Maybe I'm being too fuddy-duddy cautious.
Tom:
No, but from what you've said, I don't think the end user must have
privileges and the ability to create a database and tables. It sounds
more like allowing the user to set up his own admin for acceptable
users -- there's a big difference.
So, what you need to define is what the client and his users want to
do. From that, we can determine what they need.
