This works with MariaDB. I assume it works with MySQL, but have not tried it.

Run this SQL in PHPMyAdmin with phpmyadmin selected: 

GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON phpmyadmin.* TO 'pma'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Note that this does not grant "ALL PRIVILEGES" as the reference article below does, because it is not necessary.
