Estimated completion time: 2 minutes
You must create a database user to access your cluster. For security purposes, Atlas requires clients to authenticate as MongoDB database users to access clusters.
Database users are separate from Atlas users:
Database users can access databases hosted in Atlas.
Atlas users can log in to Atlas but do not have access to MongoDB databases.
Required Access
To create a database user, you must have
Organization Owner or Project Owner access to
the project.
Procedure
You created a database user when you created your first cluster.
To manage the database users on your cluster, see Configure Database Users.
To learn more about the security features available, see Configure Security Features for Clusters.
Next steps
Now that you have a database user for your cluster, proceed to Manage the IP Access List.
