I have a Jhipster Spring boot project. Recently I shifted from mlabs standalone sandboxes to Atlas cluster sandbox M0 Free tier replica set. It even worked and I had made some database operations on it. But now for some reason then there is a read permission error
Error creating bean with name 'mongobee' defined in class path resource [DatabaseConfiguration.class]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is com.mongodb.MongoQueryException: Query failed with error code 8000 and error message 'user is not allowed to do action [find] on [test.system.indexes]' on server ********-shard-00-01-mfwhq.mongodb.net:27017
You can see the full stack here https://pastebin.com/kaxcr7VS
I have searched high and low and all I could find is that M0 tier user doesn't have permissions to overwrite admin database which I am not doing.
Even now connection to Mlabs DB works fine but have this issue on Atlas DB M0 tier.
Mongo DB version : 3.4
Jars and It's version name: 'mongobee', version: '0.10' name: 'mongo-java-driver', version: '3.4.2'
@Neil Lunn The userId I am using to connect is that of admin's and the connection read and write works through shell or Robo3T(mongo client)
After discussion with MongoDB support team, MongoDB 3.0 deprecates direct access to the system.indexes collection, which had previously been used to list all indexes in a database. Applications should use db.<COLLECTION>.getIndexes() instead.
From MongoDB Atlas docs it can be seen that they may forbid calls to system. collections:
Optionally, for the read and readWrite role, you can also specify a collection. If you do not specify a collection for read and readWrite, the role applies to all collections (excluding some system. collections) in the database.
From the stacktrace it's visible that MongoBee is trying to make this call, so it's now the library issue and it should be updated.
UPDATE: In order to fix an issue until MongoBee has released new version:
git clone git@github.com:mongobee/mongobee.git, cd mongobeegit fetch origin pull/87/head:mongobee-atlasgit checkout mongobee-atlasmvn clean install/target folder or local /.m2
