Table: mongodbatlas_database_user - Query MongoDB Atlas Database Users using SQL

A MongoDB Atlas Database User is a unique identity recognized by MongoDB Atlas clusters, with associated roles that determine the actions the user can perform on a specific database. Database Users are separate from MongoDB Atlas Organization and Project users. They are used to authenticate applications and services to connect to MongoDB Atlas databases.

select
  id,
  name
from
  mongodbatlas_database_user;

select
  id,
  name
from
  mongodbatlas_database_user;

List all scopes for each user

Explore the range of access each user has in your MongoDB Atlas database. This can assist in identifying potential security risks and ensuring appropriate access levels.

select
  username,
  jsonb_array_elements(scopes) as scopes
from
  mongodbatlas_database_user;

select
  username,
  json_each.value as scopes
from
  mongodbatlas_database_user,
  json_each(scopes);

List all roles for each user

Explore which roles are assigned to each user in your MongoDB Atlas database, helping you to understand user permissions and ensure appropriate access control.

select
  username,
  jsonb_array_elements(roles) as roles

select
  username,
  roles.value as roles
from
  mongodbatlas_database_user,
  json_each(roles);

List all database users who have 'readWriteAnyDatabase' role on the database 'admin'

Explore which database users have been granted the 'readWriteAnyDatabase' role on the 'admin' database. This can be useful in assessing user permissions and ensuring appropriate access control within your database environment.

select
  username,
  r ->> 'databaseName' as database_name
from
  mongodbatlas_database_user as u,
  jsonb_array_elements(u.roles) as r
where
  r ->> 'roleName' = 'readWriteAnyDatabase'
  AND r ->> 'databaseName' = 'admin';

select
  username,
  json_extract(r.value, '$.databaseName') as database_name
from
  mongodbatlas_database_user as u,
  json_each(u.roles) as r
where
  json_extract(r.value, '$.roleName') = 'readWriteAnyDatabase'
  AND json_extract(r.value, '$.databaseName') = 'admin';

Export

This table is available as a standalone Exporter CLI. Steampipe exporters are stand-alone binaries that allow you to extract data using Steampipe plugins without a database.

You can download the tarball for your platform from the Releases page, but it is simplest to install them with the steampipe_export_installer.sh script:

/bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://steampipe.io/install/export.sh)" -- mongodbatlas

You can pass the configuration to the command with the --config argument:

steampipe_export_mongodbatlas --config '<your_config>' mongodbatlas_database_user
