title: How to give somebody access to only some MySQL tables when I cannot create a new MySQL user?
body: <p>I am searching for the best solution of the following:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>I need to give somebody access to one (out of many) specific database on my MySQL server through PhpMyAdmin or a similar tool.</p></li>
  <li><p>I am not allowed to create a new MySQL user account.</p></li>
  <li><p>Therefore I am thinking of creating a cover-up username and password (the credentials might be stored in some table or even directly in PHP somewhere around PMA), with which my somebody would log in to PMA.</p></li>
  <li><p>PMA would use a securely stored real username and password to connect to my MySQL server. But my somebody would never see the actual database username and password. He would only see and be able to edit tables within the one specified database on my server.</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Is this somehow achievable? Thank you!</p>
