Working with PMA on Hosting

As a rule, PMA is available on virtual hosting services, where all your databases will be visible.

For PMA, the hosting provider usually creates a specific user by default with appropriate privileges. With these privileges, the user will not be able to create new databases but will be able to perform operations with tables: create new tables, new fields, and so on.

To log in to PMA, you need to go to the hosting control panel and find the link to log in to PMA there. By clicking on the link or button, you will be redirected to PMA and will already be logged in there as the default user.

This scheme is common, but not mandatory. Sometimes it happens that you are redirected to PMA to an authorization form. And there you already need to log in under your user. If the user is associated with only one database, then in PMA you will see only that one database.
