Both the getUsers() method and SHOW command can be used to list all users in the Mongo shell.
Case 1 − Using getUsers()
The syntax is as follows −
db.getUsers();
Case 2 − Using show command
The syntax is as follows −
show users;
Let us implement both the syntaxes in order to list all users in the Mongo shell.
Case 1 − The first query is as follows −
> db.getUsers();
The following is the output −
[
{
"_id" : "test.John",
"user" : "John",
"db" : "test",
"roles" : [
{
"role" : "readWrite",
"db" : "test"
},
{
"role" : "dbAdmin",
"db" : "test"
}
],
"mechanisms" : [
"SCRAM-SHA-1",
"SCRAM-SHA-256"
]
},
{
"_id" : "test.admin",
"user" : "admin",
"db" : "test",
"roles" : [
{
"role" : "root",
"db" : "admin"
}
],
"mechanisms" : [
"SCRAM-SHA-1",
"SCRAM-SHA-256"
]
}
]Case 2 − The second query is as follows −
> show users;
The following is the output −
{
"_id" : "test.John",
"user" : "John",
"db" : "test",
"roles" : [
{
"role" : "readWrite",
"db" : "test"
},
{
"role" : "dbAdmin",
"db" : "test"
}
],
"mechanisms" : [
"SCRAM-SHA-1",
"SCRAM-SHA-256"
]
}
{
"_id" : "test.admin",
"user" : "admin",
"db" : "test",
"roles" : [
{
"role" : "root",
"db" : "admin"
}
],
"mechanisms" : [
"SCRAM-SHA-1",
"SCRAM-SHA-256"
]
}
