      Rather than using CRUD operations on db.system.users collections, user objects will be manipulated via commands:

      db.runCommand({
  createUser: 1,
  user: "spencer",
  password: "clear password",  // Unless "db" is "$external"
  extraData: <optional opaque Object>
  roles: [ { name: "roleName", db: "roleDB", canDelegate: <Boolean> }, ... ]
});

db.runCommand({
  updateUser: 1,
  user: "spencer",
  password: "new password clear",  // Optional
  extraData: <Object>, // Optional
});

db.runCommand({  deleteUser: 1, user: "spencer" });

db.runCommand({
  grantRolesToUser: 1,
  user: "spencer",
  db: "somedb",  // Should this default to the db this command is targeted at?
  roles: [ { name: "roleName", db: "roleDB", canDelegate: <Boolean> }, ...]
});

db.runCommand({
  revokeRolesForUser: 1,  // Who can do this?
  user: "spencer",
  db: "somedb",  // Should this default to the db this command is targeted at?
  roles: [ { name: "roleName", db: "roleDB", canDelegate: <Boolean> }, ...]
});

db.runCommand({ usersInfo: 1, [userName: "spencer"] })
