Thread:Project:Support desk/MySQL user for MediaWiki: What rights?

I want to setup a MySQL user for MediaWiki (XAMPP on Windows). As there are other software running on the server, I would like to give each software its own MySQL user, so the software can only access its own MySQL tables.

My question is, which MySQL-rights does the MediaWiki software need, and which rights can (or should) I revoke?

Manual:MySQL did not offer any guidance. Tony Mach (talk) 09:55, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

I just saw, the installer has created a 'bn_mediawiki' MySQL user. However it has "ALL PRIVILEGES" on the bitnami_mediawiki table - is that OK? Tony Mach (talk) 10:28, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
