 Description   

http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/add-user-administrator/

This page indicates that the userAdminAnyDatabase bundles readWrite and all sorts of other roles to, as traditional with "admin" access.

That role however does not.

Users following this guide are complaining that "show dbs" or "show collections" doesn't work, but they can login just fine.

As joanna.cheng@10gen.com rightfully pointed out, there is a "important" box there at the top, but thats easily ignored when simply looking for "how to create that damn admin user!".

Maybe add a 3b) section
"and for a traditional root user" or "to allow this user to read/write data and list databases/collection"....
