Atlas Users and Teams

On this page

Overview

To access Atlas, you must have an Atlas user account. If you are an existing MongoDB Cloud Manager user, you can use your Cloud Manager credentials.

To access an organization or a project within that organization, user must be a member of that organization. Depending on the user’s role in the organization, the Atlas user may be required to be a member of the project as well to access a project.

To access clusters in a project, users must belong to that project. Users can belong to multiple projects.

Within an organization, you can group users into teams. Users can belong multiple teams. Teams can be assigned to multiple projects, and team members’ access to the the project is determined by the team’s project role.

Important

Atlas users are separate from MongoDB users. MongoDB users can access MongoDB databases, while Atlas users can access the Atlas application itself.
