Hello @vikashgd

If the database is hosted on the same droplet, you’ll need to create an account with limited access, the same goes for the crown jobs.

If you’re using a managed database or host the database on a different droplet/server you can grant the Dev access only to the DB server.

Hi @vikashgd,

You can create a user and give him restricted access using sudoers. Check the following article to see more information on how you can achieve this:
