MongoDB: db.getRoles() method
db.getRoles()
The db.getRoles() method is used to return information for all the user-defined roles in a database on which the command runs.
Syntax:
db.getRoles()
If run without an argument, db.getRoles() returns inheritance information for the database’s user-defined roles.
Parameters:
| Name | Description | Required / Optional |
Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| rolesInfo | Set this field to 1 to retrieve all user-defined roles. | Required | integer |
| showPrivileges | Set the field to true to show role privileges, including both privileges inherited from other roles and privileges defined directly. By default, the command returns only the roles from which this role inherits privileges and does not return specific privileges. | Optional | boolean |
| showBuiltinRoles | Set to true to display built-in roles as well as user-defined roles. | Optional | boolean |
Example: MongoDB: db.getRoles() method
The following operations return documents for all the roles on the payroll database, including role privileges and built-in roles:
use payroll
db.getRoles(
{
rolesInfo: 1,
showPrivileges:true,
showBuiltinRoles: true
}
)
Output:
> db.getRoles(
... {
... rolesInfo: 1,
... showPrivileges:true,
... showBuiltinRoles: true
... }
... );
