I have a pipeline that executes commands and I want to use it to add a user to MongoDB. I have seen similar answers on stackoverflow, but those are for an older MongoDB version (they use .addUser() instead of .createUser()).

So far I have tried this:

'mongo {AUTH_URL} admin --eval "db.createUser({ createUser: {DB_USERNAME}, pwd: {DB_USER_PASSWORD}, roles: [{ role: "readWrite", db: {DB_NAME}}]})'

So what i need is a single line of code that will create the user for me and i will set all of the necessary elements through environment variables. If someone could provide an example of a terminal command to create a new user that would be great.

    You've got a line of code which looks like it can add a user - what goes wrong when you run it? Commented Aug 26, 2016 at 16:13

As per the document given you need to pass values like this.

db.createUser({user: "<username>",pwd: "<password>", roles: [{ role: "readWrite", db: "<dbName>" }, "clusterAdmin"]})

As this is as per the latest documentation.
