Hi,

I assume you are referring to MongoDB Compass Readonly Edition. Rather than relying solely on user permissions, this edition of Compass takes the further step of removing Compass UI actions associated with inserting or modifying data. For example, actions like "Create Collection", "Insert Document", and "Edit Document" are not available.

You can further manage access based on user permissions and roles. I would recommend always having authentication enabled, as well as implementing other measures in the MongoDB Security Checklist. 

Regards,

Stennie
