For users that connect to an authentication-enabled database that are authorized to only certain namespaces, the mongo shell should look up the namespaces the user is authorized to (for example by using the connectionStatus command command)
and then, if they exist, show those namespaces to the user in shell helpers like "show dbs" or "show collections".
I suspect the fact that this is not baked into the shell's DNA today is a holdover from the fact that the shell was originally built when mongodb did not use auth by default...
We should first investigate implementing showCollections properly in the server and backporting it all the way to 3.2. If this doesn't work, we should modify the shell helpers to appear to have the correct behavior.
