Did you assign the users of these sites databases privileges to access
their databases?

Don't set anything up without a password, especially if you have
different user databases. Someone could find out a user name and that's
all they need.

You need to create the user with passwords and with no privileges and
then add the user and database with the appropriate privileges in the
'db' table of the 'mysql' database.
