MySQL Authorization

Connecting MySQL to Platform requires you to have:

  1. A MySQL user with read/write access to the database and all associated tables/views you wish to access. We recommend setting up an account specifically for Platform access, although you can use an existing user.
  2. Platform IP Addresses whitelisted

Creating a New User​

  1. Login to your MySQL server
  2. In the command line, connect to a database by running USE <database name>
  3. In the command line, create a user by running CREATE USER <user name> WITH PASSWORD '<new password>';
  4. The MySQL server URL, the username, and password are all used in the Blueprints below
