Re: Get list of uses from system.users

[Stephen Lee]

Andre,

I created a simple Mongo instance on my machine, created a "super" user in the admin database, and created a "hello" user (eg. b.getSiblingDB("testone").addUser("hello","world")) in the testone database.

    coll = my_db.collection( 'system.users' )

    coll.find.each { |doc| puts "user: #{doc[ 'user' ]}, readOnly: #{doc[ 'readOnly' ]}" }

I do see the testone.system.users collection and was successful in outputting a list of users.  Could you try my sample code?  What errors do you see?

What version of the Ruby driver and MongoDB are you using?

puts "my_db collections :#{my_db.collection_names.inspect}"  #get ["system.indexes", "testone_collection", "system.users"]

# how do i run the equivalent of db.system.users.find(), tried several things but to no luck
