A database that appears under **Databases** > **MySQL Manager** in the control panel may not show up in **Databases** > **phpMyAdmin**. This happens when the primary user's read permissions have been revoked on that database.

## Solution

1. Open the [[logging-into-the-control-panel]] and navigate to **Databases** > **MySQL Manager** > _Change Mode:_ **List Databases & Users**
2. Select the database that is missing from phpMyAdmin
3. Locate the primary user and check the _Read_ checkbox under privileges
4. Click **Save**
