Database Users
Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {GROUP-ID} is the
same as your project ID. For existing groups, your group/project ID
remains the same. The resource and corresponding endpoints use the
term groups.

The databaseUsers resource lets you retrieve, create and modify the
database users in your cluster.
Each database user requires the following parameters to authenticate with a MongoDB database:
- username
- password
- authentication database
Atlas sets admin as the authentication database for all users.
The authentication database doesn't set the user's privileges on the
project's databases.
Each database user has a list of roles that authorize certain privileges on a project's databases.
By default, a database user's roles apply to all the clusters in the project:
Two clusters have a products database. One user, Pat, has a role
granting read access on the products database. Pat can
access products on both clusters.
If a database user is assigned a custom role, they cannot be assigned any other roles.
You can limit a database user's access to one or more specific clusters or data lakes.
The databaseUsers resource supports creating temporary database
users that automatically expire within a user-configurable 7-day
period.
Atlas audits the creation, deletion, and updates of database users in the project's Activity Feed. Atlas audits actions pertaining to both temporary and non-temporary database users. To view the project's Activity Feed, click Activity Feed in the Project section of the left navigation. For more information on the project Activity Feed, see View All Activity.
The databaseUsers resource requires your Project ID.
