Hi the best thing to do is check out Dev.Shed.com - MySql the addressas follows
http://www.devshed.com./Server_Side/MySQL/Administration This tells you basically the tasks of correctly administering the MySql server,including the manipulation of the privilege system. I could waffle on a bit but realistically check this site or the MySql doc's . To be fair DBA stuff isn't that taxing once you've read the relevant doc's so happy administring.
