Authorization error while running db.command("usersInfo") in a mongodb atlas instance

getting "pymongo.errors.OperationFailure: not authorized on admin to execute command" on Atlas mongo db instance.

And while I run the same command on a local mongo DB instance, I don't get the error.

db.command("usersInfo")

This is expected in Atlas shared tier (M0/M2/M5). See:

Regarding usersInfo:

This command can only be called with arguments:
{user: <MYUSER>, db: 'admin'}

Local MongoDB instances wouldn't have this restriction because it's entirely your responsibility to secure the deployment, and thus not subject to strict secure default settings like Atlas.
