Currently the localhost exception gives full privileges to all operations and commands. The purpose is only to create the first admin DB user.

Hence it would make sense to limit the localhost exception exposure to give the createUser action type on the admin DB, or possibly the UserAdmin role id that is preferable from an implementation perspective.
