Question Is using the same AWS RDS Database for multiple Plesk instances possible?

carini

Basic Pleskian
Is possible to use a single RDS instance for more than one Plesk server, providing a manually-defined account with administrative privilege? I tried and the first Plesk goes smoothly, but the subsequent tries to connect the same databases ended with a

Code:
Error: The test connection to the database server has failed because the supplied account does not possess administrative privileges:
SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1044 Access denied for user 'admin'@'%' to database 'xxxxxxxxxxxx'

Needless to say the account "admin" HAVE administrative privileges:

Code:
[centos@pleskxx ~]$ mysql --host='mariadb-10-4.xxxxxxxxx.eu-central-1.rds.amazonaws.com' --user='admin' --password='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

Some of these privileges are unobtainable under AWS RDS, but the first plesk that link with this database can see the tables with no problem, problem comes with subseguent Plesk servers
