MongoDB authentication and roles
We support MongoDB authentication by default, and so we will generate a database user and admin user along with passwords.
For the database user, we set the following roles inside MongoDB:
["readWriteAnyDatabase", "dbAdminAnyDatabase"]
For the admin user, we set the following roles inside MongoDB:
["root", { role: "dbAdmin", db: "local" }, { role: "dbAdmin", db: "config" }]
The admin user can only access the database via 127.0.0.1 so it cannot be used via external IP addresses.
