I have a MongoDB Atlas cluster within which I am trying to simply copy a database within the same instance. Unfortunately, every time I try to run db.copyDatabase() or copydb ad
I had the same issue when I was trying to connect to a cluster with Node.js version 3.0 or later and using the link below:
mongodb+srv://username:password@cluster0-eoowo.mongodb.net/test?retryWrites=true
By selecting version 2.2.12 or later and using the link provided, everything went well
mongodb://username:password@cluster0-shard-00-00-eoowo.mongodb.net:27017,cluster0-shard-00-01-eoowo.mongodb.net:27017,cluster0-shard-00-02-eoowo.mongodb.net:27017/test?ssl=true&replicaSet=Cluster0-shard-0&authSource=admin&retryWrites=true
this error is because you are trying create the colecction above admin, in atlas this isn't possible because securty.
in this case you need to use the word key use [collection_name]
this is the link for this answer.
it is in spanish.

I had faced a similar obstacle and spent hours, the problem was with the connection string provided by mongodb atlas which is: mongodb+srv://username:password@clusterName-jynkd.mongodb.net/test?retryWrites=true
I used a different connection string and worked perfectly. This is it:
mongodb://username:password@clusterName+port/yourdb?retryWrites=true&ssl=true&authSource=admin
.
Make sure the clustername + port are like this:
clusterName-shard-00-00-jynkd.mongodb.net:27017
