db.revokeRolesFromRole()

The db.revokeRolesFromRole() method is used to remove inherited roles from a role.

Syntax:

db.revokeRolesFromRole( "<rolename>", [ <roles> ], { <writeConcern> } )

Parameters:

Name	Description	Required / Optional	Type
rolename	The name of the role from which to revoke roles.	Required	String
roles	The inherited roles to remove.	Required	array
writeConcern	The level of write concern to apply to this operation. The writeConcern document uses the same fields as the getLastError command.	Optional	document

In the roles field, you can specify both built-in roles and user-defined role.

To specify a role that exists in the same database where db.revokeRolesFromRole() runs, you can either specify the role with the name of the role:

"readWrite"

Or you can specify the role with a document, as in:

{ role: "<role>", db: "<database>" }

To specify a role that exists in a different database, specify the role with a document.
