Mongodb "readWrite" role not allowing to read data from collection - nodejs

I have created application using mongodb+nodejs

I have added new user with following roles in mongodb

{
        "_id" : "testdb.testdbuser",
        "user" : "testdbuser",
        "db" : "testdb",
        "roles" : [
                {
                        "role" : "read",
                        "db" : "testdb"
                },
                {
                        "role" : "readWrite",
                        "db" : "testdb"
                }
        ]
}

Started server using --auth option. And also started node application using mongodb user credentials.

But, I am not able to read data from user collection in testdb database.

Getting this error : MongoError: not authorized for query on testdb.user

Please any suggestion? Anything I am missing?

You need to assign the read role to the user testdbuser.

testsdbuser role does not include read access on non-system collections. You can give it like this, it seems,

db.grantRolesToUser(
    "testdbuser",
    [
      { role: "read", db: "testdb" }
    ]
)
