The distribution of the mongodb binaries in a tgz (tar.gz) archive does not create user accounts, only the .deb and .rpm packages create user accounts on installation. (I confirmed that they create user accounts this morning.) The documentation will, in the near future, address using these operating system packages. However, at least for the moment, managing user accounts and process management is outside the scope of the tutorials that address the tgz archive, as there's a great deal of variability depending on user environment, configuration, and application needs. Sorry for any confusion. Cheers, | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

It doesn't, I checked the accounts, and the mongodb account had to be manually added by me, at least if I install the enterprise version. The enterprise version, at this time, can only be installed by downloading the tarball manually, so unless they change it, it does not add the accounts. Here is the account list, mongodb had to be manually added:

The MongoDB Enterprise download page includes links to packages, which may create user accounts upon installation. Thanks for your attention! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

What packages are you talking about? Also, if instructions for how to create a user is needed, they can be found here: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/add-a-user-on-ubuntu-server/ A short version would be:

changing this direction assumes you've installed from the packages, which the current tutorial doesn't cover, or created your own mongodb user with the right permissions, which the current tutorial also does not address. I've added a note saying that its important to make sure that you run the command with a user that has read/write permissions to the dbpath. |
