I’m using MongoDB Atlas. I have a Project. Inside that Project I have two deployments A and B. Each of those deployments has it’s own databases. Lets say deployment A has databases named foo and bar, and B has databases named foo and baz.
In the Atlas UI I can configure my database users at the deployment level. I want to create 2 users alice and bob. I want to give alice readWrite to database foo on deployment A and bob readWrite to all the collections in all the databases on B.
Some questions:
When I create a database user, is that user added to all the deployments in the project?
How do I set up access control as described above using specific privileges? They only let me specify a database name - how do I refer to a database in a deployment?
Further customization can be achieved using the “Specific Privileges” and “Restrict Access to Specific Clusters/Federated Database Instances/Stream Processing Instances” in the Add Database User screen and are also available when editing a Database User.
When configuring users in MongoDB Atlas, referencing a database involves specifying the database name and the corresponding permissions for that database. In contrast, referencing a deployment pertains to the overall cluster and its access settings, allowing users to manage resources across all databases within that cluster. For example, when setting up a user to operate with pec 1000 precision equipment control, you would grant specific permissions based on whether the user needs access to a single database or the entire deployment.
