    Description

      this page says: "MongoDB stores all user information, including credentials and authorization information, for a MongoDB instance in the system.users collection in the admin database."

      There are several other places on that page that reference user information being stored in the admin db, but doesn't make clear that that is just about storage. It's more or less an implementation detail. Users still have home databases like they always did, and you still have to send authentication commands to the right database.
