MongoDB grants access to data and commands through role-based authorization and provides built-in roles that provide the different levels of access commonly needed in a database system. Additionally, user-defined roles can be created. Check a user's role to ensure correct privileges for the function: Run the following command to get a list of all the databases in the system: > show dbs For each database in the system, identify the user's roles for the database: > use <database> > db.getUsers() The server will return a document with the all users in the data and their associated roles. View a role's privileges: For each database, identify the privileges granted by a role: > use <database> > db.getRole( "<role name>", { showPrivileges: true } ) The server will return a document with the "privileges" and "inheritedPrivileges" arrays. The "privileges returned document lists the privileges directly specified by the role and excludes those privileges inherited from other roles. The "inheritedPrivileges" returned document lists all privileges granted by this role, both directly specified and inherited. If the role does not inherit from other roles, the two fields are the same. If a user has a role with inappropriate privileges, this is a finding.
