Details
Non-organizational users include all information system users other than organizational users, which include organizational employees or individuals the organization deems to have equivalent status of employees (e.g., contractors, guest researchers, individuals from allied nations).
Non-organizational users must be uniquely identified and authenticated for all accesses other than those accesses explicitly identified and documented by the organization when related to the use of anonymous access, such as accessing a web server.
Accordingly, a risk assessment is used in determining the authentication needs of the organization.
Scalability, practicality, and security are simultaneously considered in balancing the need to ensure ease of use for access to federal information and information systems with the need to protect and adequately mitigate risk to organizational operations, organizational assets, individuals, other organizations, and the Nation.

Solution
Prereq: To view a user’s roles, must have the ‘viewUser’ privilege.
Connect to MongoDB.
For each database, identify the user’s roles for the database.
use
db.getUser(‘[username]’)
The server will return a document with the user’s roles.
To revoke a user’s role from a database use the db.revokeRolesFromUser() method.
To grant a role to a user use the db.grantRolesToUser() method.
