Prereq: To view a user's roles, must have the "viewUser" privilege.
Connect to MongoDB.
For each database, identify the user's roles for the database.
use <database>
db.getUser("[username]")
The server will return a document with the user's roles.
To revoke a user's role from a database use the db.revokeRolesFromUser() method.
To grant a role to a user use the db.grantRolesToUser() method.
MongoDB grants access to data and commands through role-based authorization and provides built-in roles that provide the different levels of access commonly needed in a database system. You can additionally create user-defined roles.
Check a user's role to ensure correct privileges for the function:

Prereq: To view a user's roles, you must have the "viewUser" privilege.
For each database, identify the privileges granted by a role:
use <database>
db.getRole( "read", { showPrivileges: true } )
The server will return a document with the "privileges" and "inheritedPrivileges" arrays. The "privileges returned document lists the privileges directly specified by the role and excludes those privileges inherited from other roles. The "inheritedPrivileges" returned document lists all privileges granted by this role, both directly specified and inherited. If the role does not inherit from other roles, the two fields are the same.
If a user has a role with inappropriate privileges, this is a finding.
