Permissions issues on Insert and Find to my DB

Working with Data

I am working through the MongoDB & NPM tutorials but have issues with my permissions when running CRUD functions. I receive this error:

**MongoServerError: user is not allowed to do action [insert, find] on [db.collection]
code: 8000,
codeName: ‘AtlasError’,

I’ve tried to change read/write permissions for my org and project user but it does not seem to work. I successfully connected to the DB per my terminal logs.

Can anyone help me out, please? Additionally, if I am sending my code to someone and they need to permit themselves, how can they do that on their side without my help?

Here is my code:

export async function insertNewBook(collection) {
    const newBook = {
        id: Math.floor(Math.random() * 100) * 2,
        title: "Moneyball",
        author: "Michael Lewis",
        publicationYear: 2003,
    };
 
    await collection.insertOne(newBook);
 }

export async function executeCRUDLogic() {
    const uri = process.env.DB_URI;
    try {
        client = await connectToCluster(uri);
        const db = client.db("Books_db");
        const collection = db.collection("Books");

        // POST a newBook to the collection
        console.log("adding new book")
        await insertNewBook(collection)
        console.log("book added to collection")

        // read operation - return all Books
        function returnAllBooks(collection, id, title, author, publicationYear) {
        return collection.find({ id, title, author, publicationYear }).toArray();
        }
        console.log(await returnAllBooks(collection, 3, "1984", "George Orwell", 1949))
    } 
    catch(error) {
        console.error("Error inserting book: ", error)
    }
    finally {
        await client.close();
    }
}

Hi Charlie,
I recommend you go through the documentation -

Please verify that the user from which you are trying to connect to the database has the read write permissions for the collections or if you do not want any strict policy then you can use a predefined role - readWriteAnyDatabase .
