Docs for SERVER-36829: Cursors should be killable by their originating user

      Description

      Description:

      ActionType::killCursors is now a no-op. ActionType::killAnyCursor continues to allow you to kill any cursor. Users are now able to always kill a cursor they created. Aggregation can now create cursors for virtual non-collection based resources, making it difficult to guarantee that users always have privileges to kill cursors they created without this change.

      Engineering Ticket Description:

      A user should be able to kill any cursor they spawned, regardless of the privileges they possess, and reguardless of what aggregation stage or command produced the cursor.

      Scope of changes

      • 4.2.txt
