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.

The Atlas API uses HTTP Digest Authentication. Provide your Atlas username and API key as the username and password when constructing the HTTP request.

For complete documentation on configuring API access for an Atlas project, see Configure Atlas API Access.

Add a managed namespace to a Global Cluster. For more information about managed namespaces, see Global Clusters.

Syntax¶

copy

POST /groups/{GROUP-ID}/clusters/{CLUSTER-NAME}/globalWrites/managedNamespaces

Request Path Parameters¶

Path Element	Required/Optional	Description
`GROUP-ID`	Required.	The unique identifier for the project that contains the Global Cluster.
`CLUSTER-NAME`	Required.	The name of the Global Cluster.

Request Query Parameters¶

The following query parameters are optional:

Name	Type	Description	Default
`pretty`	boolean	Displays response in a prettyprint format.	`false`
`envelope`	boolean	Specifies whether or not to wrap the response in an envelope.	`false`

Request Body Parameters¶

Name	Type	Description
`collection`	string	The name of the collection associated with the managed namespace.
`customShardKey`	string	The custom shard key for the collection. Global Clusters require a compound shard key consisting of a `location` field and a user-selected second key, the custom shard key.
`db`	string	The name of the database containing the collection.

HTTP Response Elements¶

Name	Type	Description
`customZoneMapping`	document	A comma-separated list of all custom zone mappings defined for the Global Cluster. Atlas automatically maps each location code to the closest geographical zone. Custom zone mappings allow administrators to override these automatic mappings. If your Global Cluster does not have any custom zone mappings, this document is empty.
`managedNamespaces`	array of documents	Each document specifies a namespace for a Global Cluster managed by Atlas.
`managedNamespaces[n].collection`	string	The name of the collection associated with the managed namespace.
`managedNamespaces[n].customShardKey`	string	The custom shard key for the collection. Global Clusters require a compound shard key consisting of a `location` field and a user-selected second key, the custom shard key.
`managedNamespaces[n].db`	string	The name of the database containing the collection.
