MongoDb shell simple find(): Why not authorized?

Question

How is this even possible? What am I missing?...

Edit 1: Ignore the db.posts.find vs. db.post.find typo above. I re-auth'd and tried the latter and get exact same denial.

Am I dumb or do MongoDb permissions make no sense at all? Ok don't answer that first part ;-)

Thanks a lot for any advice, I'm stuck on this one.

Answer 1

You grant only roles to the db admin. Not on d6games-site.

Try using:

db.grantRolesToUser(
  "webuser",
  [
    { role: "readWrite", db: "d6games-site" } ,
  ]
)

and very probably:

db.revokeRolesFromUser(
    "webuser",
    [
      { role: "readWrite", db: "admin" }
    ]
)
