Not authorized for query on admin.system.namespaces on mongodb

Question

I start a new mongo instance, create a user, authorize it, but when I run \"show collections\", the system says that the id is not authorized. I do not know why?

Answer 1

For MongoDB version 2.6 use:

db.createUser(
{
   user: "testUser"
   pwd: "password",
   roles: [{role: "readWrite", db:"yourdatabase"}]
})

See the docs
