=============
Users (users)
=============

Creates, lists all, and deletes users.


Enable root user
================

.. rest_method::  POST /v1.0/{accountId}/instances/{instanceId}/root

Enables the root user for a database instance and returns the root password.

This operation generates a root password for the root user and
enables the root user to log in from any host.

Changes that you make as a root user can impact the database instance
and API operations in unpredictable and detrimental ways.  When you
enable the root user, you accept the possibility that we cannot
support your database instance. We might not be able to assist you if
you change core database settings. These changes can be, but are not
limited to, turning off bin logs, removing users that we use to access
your instance, and so on.

Delete user
===========

.. rest_method::  DELETE /v1.0/{accountId}/instances/{instanceId}/users/{name}

Deletes a user for a database instance.

Do not use periods in user names. A bug in a Python library that
Rackspace uses that can cause incorrect user deletions to occur if
you use a period (.) in the user name. In this case, the bug in the
library truncates the user name to the portion from the beginning
up to the period. For example, for the ``my.userA`` user, the bug
truncates the user name to ``my``, and if the ``user`` exists, that
user is incorrectly deleted.

Create user
===========

.. rest_method::  POST /v1.0/{accountId}/instances/{instanceId}/users

Creates a user for a database instance.

Asynchronously provisions a new user for the database instance by
using the configuration that you define in the request object.
After the API validates the request and starts progress on the
provisioning process, the call returns the ``Accepted (202)``
response code.

If the API cannot fulfill the corresponding request due to
insufficient data or data that is not valid, the API returns the
``Bad Request (400)`` response code with information about the
nature of the failure. You cannot recover from validation errors.
You must correct the cause of the failure and the request again.

This table lists the required attributes for creating users:

List database instance users
============================

.. rest_method::  GET /v1.0/{accountId}/instances/{instanceId}/users

Lists the users in a database instance and the associated databases for that user.

This operation does not return system users. A system user is a
database administrator who administers the health of the database.
Also, this operation returns the ``root`` user only if it is
enabled.

The following notes apply to MySQL users:

- User names can be up to 16 characters long.

- When you create accounts with INSERT, you must use FLUSH
  PRIVILEGES to tell the server to reload the grant tables.

- For additional information, See:
  `http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/user-account-
  management.html <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/user-
  account-management.html>`_
