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 authenticates using HTTP Digest Authentication. Provide a programmatic API public key and corresponding private key as the username and password when constructing the HTTP request.

To learn how to configure API access for an Atlas project, see Configure Atlas API Access.

Delete a managed namespace for a Global Cluster. Deleting a managed namespace does not delete the collection associated with the namespace. Use the Data Explorer to delete both the collection and the managed namespace. Alternatively, use this endpoint to delete the managed namespace and the mongo shell to delete the collection.

Note

Deleting a managed namespace does not unshard the associated collection.

For more information about managed namespaces, see Global Clusters.

Syntax¶

copy

DELETE /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¶

Name	Type	Description
`collection`	string	The name of the collection associated with the managed namespace.
`db`	string	The name of the database containing the collection.

Request Body Parameters¶

This endpoint does not use HTTP request body parameters.

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.
