MongoDB not authorized for query admin.system.user

问题:

I am bit new to MongoDb and I am using MongoDb v.2.4.Here the problem is that when I run the mongod with --auth parameter, even after authenticating I am not able to perform simple operations such as "show users". But works fine if I run mongod without --auth parameter.

> use admin
switched to db admin
> db.auth("dbadmin","mypassword")
1
> show users

回答1:

Firstly you should to run mongod on localhost without --auth and create user with necessary roles that you needed. In your case you should add userAdminAnyDatabase or userAdmin role. Than you could run mongod with --auth and authenticate by this user for have remote access to system.users collections.
You could read about it here.

> use admin
switched to db admin
> db.grantRolesToUser("your_admin_name" ,[ "root"])

This command will give you all privileges on any db as admin.

I think your admin user has not been configured as mongo says.
