Multiple Database permissions?

Multiple Database permissions?
I need to have multiple databases. There has to be one admin, who will allow different users for different dabases. e.g. Users A,B for databse X, users C,D for database Y, etc. Users A or B can make add/delete/modify for databse X, but not Y for Y.
I already have separate .cfg, .pass, .db, .count files for separate databases.
Can anyone please guide me on the permissions?

Check out JPDeni's DBMAN site. She has a great set of tutorials, including how to set up permissions.

Her site is located at

www.jpdeni.com/dbman/

Hope this helps.

Eliot, thanks a bunch for the suggestion. I visited JPDeni's page. It's really very useful. Here's how I have solved my problem.
Once I had the admin (with my own username/passwd) for my first database, I copied the .pass file from this database and uploaded it as the starting .pass file for all the other databases. That plus auth_modify_own = 1 did the trick.

Great. Glad you got it to work. JPDeni's site is the best source for setting up and debugging DBMAN scripts.
