Cannot modify MongoDb databases in Visual Studio Code

Question

I have created an Atlas account and created some databases in the cloud including a Playground database.. The admin account is included in the connection string and I am able to list the databases in Visual Studio Code, browse their collections etc. However, when I open a Mongodb shell and run command "show users" after selecting the either admin, or playground database I get the following error "(Unauthorized) not authorized on admin to execute command." (See screenshot for complete error) I am an AtlasAdmin, but have added 2 other admin permissions in case I am not admin enough. However I get the same error. I am on a Chromebook running the Linux virtual environment. What would prevent me from listing the users of the admin database, or any other database?[Visual Studio Code view]Permissions I have on my Atlas instance

I am expecting to be able to list users and perform other admin tasks on my databases.

Answer 1

Atlas now contains the user accounts for Mongodb, not the databases. Configure the user accounts in the Atlas cloud interface.
