How to restrict MySQL user to not import and export database I have created a read only MySQL user but this user have an option to export the database through phpmyadmin. How can I disable the options Export and Import?
I believe phpMyAdmin uses plain SELECTs and INSERTs to import and export the database.

I don't think you will be able to prevent import/export.  I don't remember PhpMyAdmin having options to disable those features.
