      The unofficial, semi-documented splitVector command has its own privilege action and is included in the clusterAdmin role by default. Unfortunately, this means that splitVector cannot be used in Atlas, since Atlas does not make the clusterAdmin role available to users, and does not allow creation of user-defined roles.

      I'd suggest to put splitVector under a different built-in role such as read, readWrite, or dbAdmin.
