+Create a database in mysql
+1. Login
+```
+mysql -u root
+```
+2. Create database
+```
+CREATE simple_cms_development;

+```
+GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON simple_cms_development.*
+TO 'whateverUsernameYouDesire'@'localhost'
+IDENTIFIED BY 'whateverPasswordYouDesire';
+```
+You can now check the privileges of that user.
+```
+SHOW GRANTS FOR whateverUsernameYouDesire@localhost;
+```
+4. Exit the application and sign in with new user and connect to simple_cms_development database.
+```
+mysql -u whateverUsernameYouDesire -p simple_cms_development
