use test db.createUser( { user: “tester”, pwd: “password”, roles: [ { role: “read”, db: “test1” }, { role: “read”, db: “test2” }, { role: “read”, db: “test3” }, { role: “readWrite”, db: “test” } ] } );
Shell into mongodb with the test user 1
mongo -u tester -p –authenticationDatabase test
Disconnect the mongoshell
