How to display current user in MongoDB
18 May,2021 by Rambler
Question: I jump around on various MongoDB databases and want to create a process to programatically check the CURRENT USER. What is the MongoDB command to check the current user?
Answer: The db.runCommand() method will return the current authenticated User, authenticated Role & some time related details
Adding the connectionStatus details will give you formation about the current connection, specifically the state of authenticated users and their available permissions.
db.runCommand({connectionStatus : 1})
If you want to return extra information about the privileges , you can add the showPrivileges parameter, which will list out all the user privileges.
db.runCommand({connectionStatus : 1,showPrivileges:true})
