      You can create an account, set account permissions, and change the account password in the TencentDB for MongoDB console to manage database access permissions more easily.

      Overview

      TencentDB for MongoDB has two default users: rwuser and mongouser. TencentDB for MongoDB 3.2 supports both of them by default, while v3.6, v4.0, v4.2, and v4.4 only support the mongouser user by default.
      Only rwuser is authenticated with MONGODB-CR.
      Both mongouser and users created in the TencentDB for MongoDB console are authenticated with SCRAM-SHA-1.
      You can set multiple accounts and grant each of them different database read/write permissions for database access at a finer granularity and higher data security.

      Version Description

      All TencentDB for MongoDB versions support database account management.

      Note

      After you create an account and grant it the access permission, it will take effect in 2 minutes after the system performs the backend configuration.
      We recommend that you reset the database password periodically at least once every three months.
