What role provides access to the Replica-Set status method (rs.status()) for MongoDB?

Question

I would like to create a user that just has access to retrieve the status of our replica-set. Is there a built-in or other role that allows this? The docs do not seem to indicate what role is even needed to call any of rs. methods.

Answer 1

You want the "clusterMonitor" role.

See https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/built-in-roles/#clusterMonitor.
