Hi Ashu,

MongoDB Atlas is a managed environment and privileges are intentionally restricted to those available through the admin UI. Atlas currently does not allow custom roles; the highest level of user privilege available is the "Atlas admin" role. For more information, see Atlas User Privileges.

However, there should also be no reason to assign the __system role to a user. This is an internal role used for intra-cluster communication and is not intended for delegation to general end users. Can I ask what your intended use case is for this?

Regards,
Stennie
