Major - P3 Description
Noticed the following inconsistency while testing 2.6 user-defined roles.
When logged in as a user with userAdminAnyDatabase, it's not possible to create a role in a non-admin database that has privileges outside of that database (good). However, it is possible to create a user in a non-admin database that has privileges outside of that database (see below). This struck me as a little inconsistent. Is there a reason for this? Should it be fixed?
