I want to preface that I have been trying this not only with Mongoose, but with the direct driver. In both cases I seem to be getting the issue:

In my testing on this issue I've wiped out and reinstalled mongoose and any mongo folder as well. So I am currently using

mongodb@2.2.11
│ └── mongodb-core@2.0.13
└── mongoose@4.6.8

I am authorizing with an account which has dbOwner permissions.

I am doing a bulk insert of around 600 records by using

ModelName.insertMany( documentArray, function (err, results)

I get the following error:

{
"name": "MongoError",
"message": "not authorized on appdb to execute command { insert: \"devices\", documents: 609, ordered: true, writeConcern:

}",
"ok": 0,
"errmsg": "not authorized on appdb to execute command { insert: \"devices\", documents: 609, ordered: true, writeConcern:

}",
"code": 13
}
However I have logged in both from my client and locally on the server and can perform db.devices.insertMany operations just fine, so it doesn't seem to be a permissions issue.

I've been looking for a solution for hours and can find none.
