Right now Mongo Atlas allows you to assign two types of roles to all the users: Organization and Project, and for each set it gives you some predefined roles.

The problem with this is you can't have any kind of granular control of what permission is assigned to each user. (e.g. to allow a user to create a trigger through Mongo Stitch it needs the Project Owner role).

This is a major setback as I'm giving my coworkers more access than needed.

A good solution would be to have something like the database access control in this part so we can create our own custom roles to assign to he users.

Hello,

I think it would be a good idea to have team management at project level.
We have many projects and members in our Atlas account.
I'm a organization owner. The people in my organization use the Altas service. I create
a project for them and give my colleagues the project owner authorizations.

Project owners can invite other members. This is good. But it's a little inconsistent that
they are not able to create groups or teams within their projects They have to manage the permissions for each member separately.

We can't use organization teams, because they are located at the organizational level. Therefore, only the owner of an organization can create teams.
And only the owner of an organization can add or remove members from a team.

Much like built-in roles have the ability to target all databases/any database, it would be ideal if collection actions could also target any database. Similarly to how, when adding collection actions to a custom role, if you leave the "collection" field blank, it applies to all collections in the specified DB, it would be great if you could leave the "database" field blank too (or add an "any database" option) and have the actions associated with the role be allowed on any database.

This feature gap creates unnecessary maintenance overhead for clusters with large numbers of databases. This is particularly impactful if databases are added/removed/migrated frequently, creating the need for frequent manual maintenance or some kind of API-based automation to keep the role updated so that the actions can be performed on all databases that currently exist on the cluster.

Our developers need to access databases from home or an office location from time to time.
They are not Project Owners and should not have broad sweeping administrative privileges over the databases.
In some cases they may be outsource workers who would only have read-only views on the data.
However, they do need to be able to connect to the databases.
Currently, you need a Project Owner role to be able to add an IP address to the whitelist and allow remote access.
Please add the ability to create custom roles for Atlas users, which would enable us to create a new set of more fine-grained permissions.
In particular I would like to be able to add a role to a user who was either Database Read/Write or Database Read Only which allowed them a specific limited permission to:
- Add Current IP Address (temporarily - restrict time period to <= 1 day)

We are using MongoDB-AWS for authentication, and have set up the audit log to log events taken by AWS roles. However, there is insufficient information in the logs to identify who is doing those actions, as roles can be assumed by multiple people.

An example log line in the current audit log:
{ "atype" : "authenticate", "ts" : { "$date" : "2021-01-05T00:21:52.628+00:00" }, "local" : { "ip" : "192.168.248.203", "port" : 27017 }, "remote" : { "ip" : "172.31.0.5", "port" : 54195 }, "users" : [ { "user" : "arn:aws:sts::555555555555:assumed-role/developer-role/", "db" : "$external" } ], "roles" : [ { "role" : "readWriteAnyDatabase", "db" : "admin" }, { "role" : "clusterMonitor", "db" : "admin" }, { "role" : "backup", "db" : "admin" }, { "role" : "atlasAdmin", "db" : "admin" }, { "role" : "dbAdminAnyDatabase", "db" : "admin" }, { "role" : "enableSharding", "db" : "admin" } ], "param" : { "user" : "arn:aws:sts::555555555555:assumed-role/developer-role/", "db" : "$external", "mechanism" : "MONGODB-AWS" }, "result" : 0 }

The user is identified as "arn:aws:sts::555555555555:assumed-role/developer-role/*", but the true ARN of the user is more like "arn:aws:sts::555555555555:assumed-role/developer-role/first.last@company.com", where the role session name carries identifying information.

In order to make the audit logs more useful, since multiple entities can assume a role, the audit logs should contain the full role ARN with the session name or the UserID of the assumed role.

At some point in the past, the logs contained the access key ID used to access the cluster, which could be correlated back to an individual user using Cloudtrail.

Currently on the Atlas login screen it presents a button to authenticate using Google and a text field to enter an email address. Upon entering an email address there's a brief pause - presumably to check if the email address is bound to a configured SAML provider - and if not then the password field appears.

Since the password field doesn't exist in the DOM until it's needed it means password managers have to autofill the email and password fields as two separate steps. I propose to have the password field present and hidden from the start so that password managers can pre-populate the password field before the field becomes visible.

We would like to use the new role mapping feature for federated authentication to assign Atlas roles based on LDAP groups assigned to our users.

However, we frequently create new projects programmatically and would need to manage the permissions to these new projects using role mapping. However, there is no public API available to manage role mappings programmatically. In addition, enabling role mapping disables the ability to manage roles for federated users with the API. So, at present, role mappings and permissions can only be managed manually through the UI.

We would like to request the ability to modify role mappings (and possibly other federation features) through the Atlas API.
