Hi @Kang_Lin, welcome to the MongoDB Community forums. :wave:

Are you authenticated with a user that has permissions to read from the database/collection that is giving you the error?

For anyone who want limited access to a user, I tried the following specific privileges and it works for me:

  • readWrite@my-target-db
  • readWrite@admin
