The MongoDB administrator must ensure that additional application access control is enforced.

Review the system documentation to determine the required levels of protection for MongoDB server securables by type of login.

Review the permissions actually in place on the server. If the actual permissions do not match the documented requirements, this is a finding.

Run MongoDB command to view roles and privileges in a particular database:

use database
db.getRoles(
{
rolesInfo: 1,
showPrivileges:true,
showBuiltinRoles: true
}
)
