When adding a user to multiple databases, use unique username-and-password combinations for each database
While this sentence is true for itself, it may lead to the conclusion that a user who needs to access different databases has to be added to each database individually.
However, it's recommended to add such an user only once by giving him/her multiple roles for all the databases he/she needs to access.
For example:
{
_id: "home.Kari",
user: "Kari",
db: "home",
credentials: { "MONGODB-CR" :"<hashed password>" },
roles : [
{ role: "read", db: "home" },
{ role: "readWrite", db: "test" },
{ role: "appUser", db: "myApp" }
],
customData: { zipCode: "64157" }
}
This user has been added only once to the home database having access to the three databases home, test and myApp.
