Note

Only one user can authenticate on a connection to a federated database instance at any given time. If a user authenticates and then runs the db.auth() command, Data Federation replaces the previous user's permissions with the new user's permissions.

The connectionStatus command shows only the newly authenticated user in the authenticatedUsers output field.

Now that you're connected to your federated database instance using mongosh, proceed to Run Queries Against Your federated database instance.
