    Description

      Hi Team,

      Customer is noticing mismatch in documents field under system.users collection , ie userId field is missing for few users. We explained that this fix is added as part of SERVER-38984 introduced in 3.6.13 version, so users created before that will not have this field. And we recommended to drop and recreate the users to fix the vulnerability. But customer is not ready to do this action.

      Customer is running 3.6.16 version. I searched on jira but could not find any related tickets.
       

      Question

      Can we update the document by inserting userid field ? will it have any impact/issue ?
      In future version can we provide a mechanism to auto update this field for those users it is missing ?
