When you arrive at the Database Users page:


  1. In the Database User field, enter a user name. (The database user name will be prefixed with the client id by default. If your client id is 22 and the database user is   John, your database username will be c22john. We recommend notusing underscores (_) in database user names.)
  2. In the Database password field, create the new user's password. (If you click Generate Password a strong password will be randomly created for you. Always ensure that the password strength indicator indicates that you are using a strong password.)
  3. In the Repeat Password field, re enter the password that you created in the previous step.
  4. Click Save to confirm your changes.
