Custom Roles¶
The customDBRoles resource lets you retrieve, create, and change
custom roles in your cluster. Use custom roles to specify custom sets
of actions that the built-in Atlas
database user privileges can't describe.
The following statements describe custom roles:
- You define custom roles at the project level, for all clusters in the project.
- The
customDBRolesresource supports a subset of MongoDB privilege actions. For a complete list of privilege actions available for this resource, see Custom Role actions. - Using the Atlas API, you can create a subset of custom role actions. To create a wider list of custom role actions, use the Atlas user interface.
- Custom roles must include actions that all project's clusters support, and that are compatible with each MongoDB version used by your project's clusters. For example, if your project has MongoDB 4.0 clusters, you can't create custom roles that use actions introduced in MongoDB 4.2.
Note
Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {GROUP-ID} is the
same as your project ID. For existing groups, your group/project ID
remains the same. The resource and corresponding endpoints use the
term groups.
