Connect MariaDB

MariaDB uses the same user management syntax as MySQL for read-only ingestion users.

Create a dedicated user

Create unitylayer_user with a secure password.

CREATE USER 'unitylayer_user'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_secure_password';

Grant required permissions

Grant SELECT on your_database.* to the user.

GRANT SELECT ON your_database.* TO 'unitylayer_user'@'%';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Grant schema access (optional)

Fine-grain access to specific schemas if needed.

-- If using specific schemas:
GRANT SELECT ON your_database.your_schema.* TO 'unitylayer_user'@'%';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Verify user permissions

Run SHOW GRANTS to confirm.

SHOW GRANTS FOR 'unitylayer_user'@'%';

When setup is complete, open Connect database in the data catalog to enter credentials and test the connection.
