Database UsersΒΆ
Base URL: https://cloud.mongodb.com/
The databaseUsers resource lets you retrieve, create and modify the
MongoDB users in your cluster. Each user has a set of roles that provide
access to the group’s databases. A user’s roles apply to all the clusters in
the group: if two clusters have a products database and a user has a role
granting read access on the products database, the user has that
access on both clusters.
Each user also has a username, password, and authentication database used to log into MongoDB. Atlas deployments of
MongoDB use admin as the authentication database for all users. The
authentication database does not determine a user’s roles.
The databaseUsers resource requires your Group ID.
