I'm the dumbest person alive

I don't see any permissions sections anywhere, even if I create a new user? Inside "PHPMyAdmin", I don't have either a permissions or users tab either

I'm not sure how to check that? I created usernames inside the "MySQL® Databases" page. Honestly, I'm a novice, and I'm sorry for wasting your guys' time.

I can't seem to connect my database to my PHP file since it keeps coming up as an access denied. An example script I have is: <?php$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "states_username", "[what the password is]", "states_test");$sql="SELECT 1+1";$result = mysqli_query($mysqli,$sql);?> When I run it, I get: " Warning: mysqli::mysqli(): (HY000/1044): Access denied for user 'states_username'@'localhost' to database 'states_test' in /home/states/public_html/[redacted].php on line 2 Warning: mysqli_query(): Couldn't fetch mysqli in /home/states/public_html/[redacted].php on line 4 "
