Introduction:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In MongoDB, you can create read-only access for users by assigning appropriate roles that grant read-only privileges to the user. MongoDB provides several built-in roles that can be used to grant read-only access. The two most common built-in roles for read-only access are read and readAnyDatabase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prerequisite<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Server root login credentials.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Mongo DB credentials if it is authenticated.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Step 1:<\/strong>
    Log in to your Ubuntu or Centos server as a user with sudo privileges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    $ ssh root@Ip<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>
    Step 2:<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Login to Mongo Shell. If authenticated, please follow the below steps.
    Then use admin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    $ mongo
    or
    $ mongo -u username -p –authenticationDatabase admin
    $ use admin<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>
    Step 3:<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    To create the read-only user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    $ db.createUser({
    user: “testuser”,
    pwd: “password “,
    roles: [
    { role: “dbAdmin”, db: “database” },
    { role: “readAnyDatabase”, db: “admin” }
    ]
    })<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>
    Step 4:<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Authenticate the user. If authentication is successful, the result will be 1<\/strong>. If authentication fails, you get an error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    $ db.auth(‘testuser’,’password’)
    $ exit<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>
    verify the authentication for the user as mentioned below.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    $mongo -u testuser -p
    or
    $ mongo -u testuser -p –authenticationDatabase admin<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>
    Conclusion<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Following the steps mentioned above, we can create read-only access for users in MongoDB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
