 Description   

We should add a tutorial for migrating an instance with authentication to a shard, or update the current documentation with information about authentication.

Example:

Stand alone instance with auth, going to become shard. If it is the first shard, the shard needs to be added to the config servers before the user.

DOCS-6963 added an upgrade tutorial for taking a sharded cluster to auth, as well as a deploy tutorial.

However, it lacks the warning that until at least one shard is added to the cluster, you can only create users on the admin or config database.
