I just set up a shared MySql library following this guide.
Everything was working flawless but I'm a little worried about security as this step requires to give the kodi user access to all databases which makes him "root like".
I guess this is needed for automatically creating & setting up the needed databases but I'm now wondering if I could revoke those rights and restrict the user after initial setup to only have rights for the database(s) he really needs (video & music).

Is it ok to restrict the user after initial set up or will this break something in the future? E.g. does Kodi need to create new databases when updating to newer versions etc.?

Thanks & best regards,

Mike

Have a look at the "Restricting MySQL Access Rights" tab page on the far right on the https://kodi.wiki/view/MySQL/Setting_up_MySQL page.

Perfect, that answers all my questions!
Completely missed that tab, thank you very much!
