Allowing primary users to create databases

Just a suggestion, and something I've heard several customers grumble about lately. Rather than forcing a user to create a new MySQL username (i.e. username_dbusername) and confusing them when they create their first database, why not allow the main username to already be an option for ownership in the dropdown menu?

Besides, upon setting up a domain initially, that user already has permissions to view, create, and edit all databases associated with that account via MySQL command line or in phpMyAdmin, right? So why not allow the main username to create databases in the DA panel as well?

Enough resellers already have to walk their customers through certain things hand-in-hand as it is, so being able to use the main username as a default option for creating new databases is much less confusing to those people who aren't as computer savvy, so to speak.

Anyone else have any thoughts on this? Thanks for any input.
 
This is something that cPanel had that I missed. I am interested in this also.

Would be nice to have granular controls over the permissions per user also. But this isn't nearly as important as having multiple users for one database or multiple databases for one user.
