Preventing certain commands

[coys]

Hello, Is there a way I can configure my mongodb setup so that users
are not allowed to run the remove command? Thanks

[Eliot Horowitz]

No, the only options currently are read only users or read/write users.

Hi Eloit, thanks for the reply. Btw, I was told about this link where
I can remove the delete and drop table functionality, but this is on
an old version of mongodb..I was just curious if its supported anymore
and if its okay to go ahead with it -
http://books.google.com/books?id=IZiyEX_2JtoC&pg=PA49&lpg=PA49&dq=mongodb+DBCollection.prototype.drop&source=bl&ots=r01tpZCV04&sig=PriIcrWIgDkOdPdbwJVqX7s2haU&hl=en&sa=X&ei=AHwFUNLlK4KK8QTb06z5Bw&ved=0CE4Q6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=mongodb%20DBCollection.prototype.drop&f=false
Thanks!

This is only a way to remove the helper function in the javascript shell.
If you simply want to avoid mistakes, you can do this and distribute the rc file to all your users. Otherwise, this won't work.

Hello, I actually created the following script as explained in the
book ,
startup.js, containing only these 3 lines,
===
delete DBCollection.prototype.drop;
delete DBCollection.prototype.remove;
delete DB.prototype.dropDatabase;
====
However, when I run ./mongo statup.js, it says connecting to test and
exits without giving me the shell. However, when I have a mongo shell
and I load the script,>load("startup.js") it works nicely as expected.
Is there anything I need to add to the script to get it working when I
invoke it as ./mongo startup.js? Thanks!
