When creating a cluster, the user gen\_user is automatically created. You can create new [database](https://hostman.com/managed-database/) users, grant them different rights to different databases, and generally manage them on the **Users** tab.

## Creating Users

To create a new user:

1.  Go to the **Database** section and click on the cluster.
    
2.  On the **Users** tab click **Add**.
    
3.  Specify the parameters such as username, password and hosts.
    
4.  Configure the privileges for this user (you can modify them later).
    
5.  Click **Create**.
    

The **Use the same privileges for all databases** option is enabled by default. If necessary, you can turn it off and then select a specific database from the list to configure user privileges.

## Configuring Users

To change the privileges of an already created user:

1.  Go to the **Database** section and click on the cluster.
2.  Go to the **Users** tab.
    
3.  Click on the three dots and select **Privileges**.
    
4.  Set the privileges and save changes.

If the user privileges should be different for different databases, turn off the **Use the same privileges for all databases** option, and then configure the privileges by selecting the required databases from the list.

## Changing User Password

You can change the user password for connecting to the database on the **Users** tab.

1.  Go to the **Database** section and click on the cluster.
    
2.  In the **Users** tab click on the three dots for the desired user and select **Change password**.
    
3.  Enter a new value and save changes.
