Add privileges for Custom Roles which are currently only available in Built-in Roles

Currently the list of privileges assignable for Custom Roles is only a subset of privileges available to Built-in Roles This request is to add the missing privileges to both the REST API and Atlas UI which are available to Built-in Roles The first set of privileges requested by a customer is from the Cluster Monitor role Expanded prioritized privileges requested: checkFreeMonitoringStatus getCmdLineOpts getLog getParameter getShardMap hostInfo inprog listShards netstat replSetGetConfig replSetGetStatus setFreeMonitoring shardingState

    I'd like to request that the querySettings privilege action be added to this feedback. Currently, it can be granted only by assigning user the atlasAdmin/clusterAdmin role, which grants too many privileges

    I would also add that viewRole cannot be granted, and, to my knowledge, the only way that a user can have that privilege is if they are assigned the atlasAdmin role. This is a desired addition to custom role actions/privileges options

    This makes sense eventually but is not a high priority over the near to medium term because the clusterMonitoring role can be used. Thanks for filing
