M150: Creating a User Administrator

MongoDB University M150: Authentication and Authorization
#1

Hi,
I created the user but it displayed later that authentication failed. Also my two tests failed, so i wanted to reset the workspace, since I am unable to proceed.
Hence, now when I try to reset the workspace, I am unable to do so for the exercise “Creating a User Administrator”.

Any help on the same would be great.

Regards,
Udayan

Is this a lab/final exam with limited attempts?
What error are you getting when you reset workspace?

#3

This is a lab with infinite attempts
Reset of the workspace is not working. Even if I click on reset, the workspace is not reset.
I again tried the below but its not working and am blocked here.

Am working on the following exercise:
Chapter 1: Database User Authentication

Learning Activity: Creating a User Administrator

#5

You can authenticate only if user is created
Your user creation itself failed
If this lab is about creating user administrator why application data db related role in your creation statement
After creating admin user you have to login as that user and create other users
Try again with proper steps

Thanks @Ramachandra_Tummala , I again tried and it worked - but without the application data db reference.
Appreciate your quick help.
