# Database management

LIBSAFE provides an integrated layer in the very web interface to access the database. Available access and operability is managed by the phpMyAdmin software, together with the user for whom access is requested.

Database management is accessible from the ***Systems configuration*** section, by clicking on the ***Database management*** link. The following image shows the login screen that will appear.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** the user / password we will have to enter to access is not about a LIBSAFE user, but a user / password in **MySQL.**
{% endhint %}

![](/files/-MkmWI2IlF-iHJCjXag3)

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** every functionality and action we may be able to perform against the database will be defined by the privileges the user may have granted in **MySQL**. If we try to perform actions for which we have no privileges, we will obtain error messages indicating that.
{% endhint %}

For any doubt or question related to the database management control panel, we can approach the **LIBSAFE** consultants, or access available documentation in the official site of *phpMyAdmin*.

Once logged in, the system shows the initial screen where we can see all available actions, existing databases and additional information on the databases.

The interface shown allows for all the functions we might be able to carry out with *phpMyAdmin*, only that we will have the privilege restrictions assigned to the user with whom we are accessing said panel.

It is recommended that access to this database management control panel (and by extension any database user with sufficient privileges) be restricted to only a few administrators in order to avoid, as much as possible, potential problems which might arise from a poor management  of the database.
