      We dumped everything from a v2.6.4 sharded system to restore it on a v3.0.2 sharded system. The users got not restored. The role of the user doing the dump and restore was root.
      Since the users were not restored, we tried to restore the admin database which didn't work either. Also restoring only system.users didn't work:

      The only solution we found was to dump every single database using the mongodump option --dumpDbUsersAndRoles and restore them one by one using the mongorestore option --restoreDbUsersAndRoles. The latter required to add the role "restore" to the root user.
