Installing - user permissions?

[ThreeD]

Before installing vBulletin you have to set up a database and a user accessing that database!

What permissions/priveliges should that database user have? ALL? Read? Write? Add? Delete?

If there are any user priviliges/permissions that I can "uncheck"/remove without loosing vbulletin functionality? I'm trying to figure this out for security reasons.

thanks in advance for any reply :)

The easiest is ALL.

You generally won't need permissions like DROP, CREATE, INDEX or ALTER except during upgrades, but you'll need to remember to adjust the permissions when upgrading.

thanks Colin, that's what I needed to know :)
