    Description

      Some built-in roles like readWriteAnyDatabase allow creating and performing other operations directly on a system.buckets collection. Since these collections should be manipulated as a time-series collection rather than directly, we should consider removing some of these permissions. Note that it won't fully disallow these operations since custom roles can always be created which explicitly grant these permissions, but it would have to be more deliberate.
