hey folks,

I have an application and now i need a very basic database/some solution to  
store the users that can login to this app & also to specify the access  
level i.e Admin/user. I was looking at the mysql cookbook :  
[https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/mysql#berkshelf](https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/mysql#berkshelf)

Can anyone point me to a cookbook that is using this mysql cookbook, that i  
can refer?

thanks

You may want to look at the database cookbook.
