User management involves granting database access, setting user permissions, and monitoring activities. This process, traditionally handled via command-line utilities, includes creating, modifying, and deleting accounts, and configuring user privileges. Although command-line remains relevant, the advent of graphical user interface (GUI) tools has simplified user management.

dbForge Studio for MySQL, a highly functional GUI-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE), significantly improves database user management compared to command-line tools due to a more intuitive and user-friendly approach. The user management is provided by the Studio for MySQL's Security Manager. This article will utilize this feature to illustrate task performance and compare the usage of standard SQL commands vs. applying the GUI-based solution.
