Possible to choose a db user name that's not the db name?

Isn't it more secure to have the option to create a user name for a database that's not the same as the name of the database itself?

cbiweb yes, but at the web dashboard doesn't let you create a standalone DB user without a matching database.

We have plans to add better DB user management in the future, but for now you can work around it like this:

Create a database with the name of the user you want to use.
Delete the database you created in step 1
Create your actual database assigned to the user that was created with the (now-deleted) database from step 1 above.

You'll need to wait a few minutes between each step as it takes some time to push the info from the dashboard to the web servers. You'll know it's ready when you get a notification in the dashboard.
