The answer is "Yes". This is a common requirement for Meteor users (Meteor 1.4 introduced support for MongoDB 3.2 and hence MongoDB Atlas).
In order to access the oplog, a database user must have read access on the "local" database.
To create a user with the necessary read privileges for the local database, add a new user in the Security tab called, for example, "oploguser". Then restrict the privileges further by selecting the "Show Advanced Options" menu and choosing read@local in the associated role. This will restrict the user "oploguser" to perform read operations on the local database, only.
