Getting Users from MongoDb using Node.js

Question

I want to get the users info in my MongoDb using Noe.js. I'm able to get the data from a particular collection with the below code:

 var MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient; var url = "mongodb://localhost:27017/"; MongoClient.connect(url, function(err, db) { if (err) throw err; var dbo = db.db("mydb"); dbo.collection("customers").findOne({}, function(err, result) { if (err) throw err; console.log(result.name); db.close(); }); }); 

In the same manner I want to get the database users (ie admins) details.

Any suggestions ??

Thanks in Advance!!

Answer 1

 dbo.collection("customers").find()

Will return all users and info from this collection

Note: It will return result as an array

 dbo.collection("customers").count()

Will return how many users are there in collection

Answer 2

There is a database called admin created automatically when you install Mongodb and it contains the admins and their roles for the other databases you can access it via

var dbo = db.db("admin");

use this link https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/manage-users-and-roles/#create-a-user-defined-role to learn how to add and manage admins
