Hi, we are using BOA as a development environment and it has helped in many many tasks we used to do automatically while developing Drupal sites.
But one downside we see it's the DB access. We use Chive that is installed by default, it's easy and fast, but each developer (different octopus user) has to login to Chive with different credentials every time he wants to check out a different web site DB.
Would be nice if there is an easy way to display ALL the DBs for all sites that are managed under an octopus user.
Maybe it's already working like that and I'm missing something
Any ideas?
cheers!

I agree, in some situations
I agree, in some situations it would be really nice to allow octopus users access to their respective databases.
Perhaps the databases should be prefixed with the user. So "o1" would be "o1_dbname" then a user could be made with access to o1_%
It is not possible without
It is not possible without hacking Aegir core, because Aegir manages and tracks db names and db users for all sites. You would have to create and manage prefixes for every instance and this would further limit allowed db names length.
