You can use createUser() method for this. Following is the syntax −
db.createUser(
{
user: "yourUserName",
pwd: "yourPassword",
roles: [ { role: "read", db: "yourDatabaseName" } ]
}
);Let us create a user in MongoDB. Here, we are using database ‘test’ −
> db.createUser(
... {
... user: "David",
... pwd: "David123456",
... roles: [ { role: "read", db: "test" } ]
... }
... );This will produce the following output −
Successfully added user: {
"user" : "David",
"roles" : [
{
"role" : "read",
"db" : "test"
}
]
}
