      Expected: A user with the clusterAdmin role should be authorized to run the repairDatabase command.

      Actual: Attempting to run repairDatabase on either the admin database or a non-admin database gives an authorization error, even when the user has the clusterAdmin role:

      {
	"ok" : 0,
	"errmsg" : "not authorized on roles_commands_1 to execute command { repairDatabase: 1.0 }",
	"code" : 13
}
