## Description

`GET` returns each database the user reaches and its privilege flags; `POST` grants one `privilege` on one `database`; `DELETE` revokes it. Privilege names are the MySQL set (`select`, `insert`, `createView`, …). Requires the DirectAdmin JSON API layer.

## Path parameters

- `username` — string (required)

## Body

- `input` — string (required). A domain, email address, website URL, or Inleed service id — for example example.se, info@example.se or 42976. Resolved to the owning account automatically, and the resolved target is echoed back in the response. Up to 255 characters.
- `user` — string (required)
- `database` — string (required)
- `privilege` — string (required)
