Notes
Note
- Requires the pymongo Python package on the remote host, version 2.4.2+. This can be installed using pip or the OS package manager. Newer mongo server versions require newer pymongo versions. @see http://api.mongodb.org/python/current/installation.html
Examples
- name: Create 'burgers' database user with name 'bob' and password '12345'.
community.mongodb.mongodb_user:
database: burgers
name: bob
password: 12345
state: present
- name: Create a database user via SSL (MongoDB must be compiled with the SSL option and configured properly)
community.mongodb.mongodb_user:
database: burgers
name: bob
password: 12345
state: present
ssl: True
- name: Delete 'burgers' database user with name 'bob'.
community.mongodb.mongodb_user:
database: burgers
name: bob
state: absent
- name: Define more users with various specific roles (if not defined, no roles is assigned, and the user will be added via pre mongo 2.2 style)
community.mongodb.mongodb_user:
database: burgers
name: ben
password: 12345
roles: read
state: present
- name: Define roles
community.mongodb.mongodb_user:
database: burgers
name: jim
password: 12345
roles: readWrite,dbAdmin,userAdmin

community.mongodb.mongodb_user:
database: burgers

replica_set: belcher
password: 12345
roles: readWriteAnyDatabase
state: present
# add a user 'oplog_reader' with read only access to the 'local' database on the replica_set 'belcher'. This is useful for oplog access (MONGO_OPLOG_URL).
# please notice the credentials must be added to the 'admin' database because the 'local' database is not synchronized and can't receive user credentials
# To login with such user, the connection string should be MONGO_OPLOG_URL="mongodb://oplog_reader:oplog_reader_password@server1,server2/local?authSource=admin"
