Assign User to DB

Grant a MongoDB user a role scoped to an existing database, so they can execute queries, modify collections, and manage data.

This is a critical step after creating a database and user - without it, the user won't be able to interact with the database.

To assign an existing user to a database, navigate to MongoDB > Assign User to DB:

1. Select a User Choose the MongoDB user you want to grant access to.

2. Select a Database Choose the existing database the user should be assigned to.

3. Select a Role Choose the role to grant on the database:

   • read - read-only access
   • readWrite - read and write access (default)
   • dbAdmin - administrative tasks on the database (indexes, stats, schema)
   • dbOwner - full control over the database, combining readWrite and dbAdmin

4. Click 'Assign User to Database' After selecting the user, database, and role, click the Assign User to Database button.
