Remove MariaDB User Account
If we need to remove a user, we can use the DROP statement:
DROP USER 'username'@localhost;
The output confirms that user no longer has access nor privileges.
Example:
Drop the user minal.
DROP USER 'minal'@localhost;
Output:
Account Dropped
Best Practices
- Use Strong Passwords: Encourage users to use strong, unique passwords to additionally boost security.
- Grant Minimal Privileges: Attempt to limit the privileges for each user to the minimum. Do not grant excessive privileges to limit the amount of security risks.
- Regularly Review Privileges: Regularly revise user privileges according to the modifications of the requirements.
- Limit Remote Access: At the same time, filter the remote access to specific IP addresses or networks by the most effective security rules.
