updateUser
¶Updates the user’s profile on the database on which you run the command. An update to a field completely replaces the previous field’s values, including updates to the user’s roles
and authenticationRestrictions
arrays.
Warning
When you update the roles
array, you completely replace the previous array’s values. To add or remove roles without replacing all the user’s existing roles, use the grantRolesToUser
or revokeRolesFromUser
commands.
The updateUser
command uses the following syntax. To update a user, you must specify the updateUser
field and at least one other field, other than writeConcern
:
Tip
Starting in version 4.2 of the mongo
shell, you can use the passwordPrompt()
method in conjunction with various user authentication/management methods/commands to prompt for the password instead of specifying the password directly in the method/command call. However, you can still specify the password directly as you would with earlier versions of the mongo
shell.
The command has the following fields:
updateUser |
string | The name of the user to update. |
pwd |
string |
Tip Starting in version 4.2 of the |
customData |
document | |
roles |
array | roles array overrides the previous array’s values. |
writeConcern |
document | writeConcern document takes the same fields as the getLastError command. |
authenticationRestrictions |
array |
|
mechanisms |
array |
If updating the mechanisms field without the password, you can only specify a subset of the user’s current mechanisms, and only the existing user credentials for the specified mechanism or mechanisms are retained. If updating the password along with the mechanisms, new set of credentials are stored for the user. Valid values are:
|
digestPassword |
boolean |
If true, the server receives undigested password from the client and digests the password. If false, the client digests the password and passes the digested password to the server. Not compatible with
|
comment |
any |
A comment can be any valid BSON type (string, integer, object, array, etc).
|
In the roles
field, you can specify both built-in roles and user-defined roles.
To specify a role that exists in the same database where updateUser
runs, you can either specify the role with the name of the role:
Or you can specify the role with a document, as in:
To specify a role that exists in a different database, specify the role with a document.
New in version 3.6.版本3.6中的新功能。
The authenticationRestrictions
document can contain only the following fields. The server throws an error if the authenticationRestrictions
document contains an unrecognized field:
Field Name | Value | |
---|---|---|
clientSource |
Array of IP addresses and/or CIDR ranges | If present, when authenticating a user, the server verifies that the client’s IP address is either in the given list or belongs to a CIDR range in the list. If the client’s IP address is not present, the server does not authenticate the user. |
serverAddress |
Array of IP addresses and/or CIDR ranges | A list of IP addresses or CIDR ranges to which the client can connect. If present, the server will verify that the client’s connection was accepted via an IP address in the given list. If the connection was accepted via an unrecognized IP address, the server does not authenticate the user. |
Important
If a user inherits multiple roles with incompatible authentication restrictions, that user becomes unusable.
For example, if a user inherits one role in which the clientSource
field is ["198.51.100.0"]
and another role in which the clientSource
field is ["203.0.113.0"]
the server is unable to authenticate the user.
For more information on authentication in MongoDB, see Authentication.
Warning
By default, updateUser
sends all specified data to the MongoDB instance in cleartext, even if using passwordPrompt()
. Use TLS transport encryption to protect communications between clients and the server, including the password sent by updateUser
. For instructions on enabling TLS transport encryption, see Configure mongod and mongos for TLS/SSL.
MongoDB does not store the password in cleartext. The password is only vulnerable in transit between the client and the server, and only if TLS transport encryption is not enabled.
You must have access that includes the revokeRole
action on all databases in order to update a user’s roles
array.
You must have the grantRole
action on a role’s database to add a role to a user.
To change another user’s pwd
or customData
field, you must have the changeAnyPassword
and changeAnyCustomData
actions respectively on that user’s database.
To modify your own password and custom data, you must have privileges that grant changeOwnPassword
and changeOwnCustomData
actions respectively on the user’s database.

command completely replaces the user’s customData
