We’ve upgraded our feedback system to better capture, track, and act on your feedback. Here’s what you need to know:
|
What problem are you trying to solve? Focus on the what and why of the need you have, not the how you'd like it solved. |
|
|
What would you like to see happen? Describe the desired outcome or enhancement. |
|
|
Why is this important to you or your team? Explain how the request adds value or solves a business need. |

What steps, if any, are you taking today to manage this problem? |
Hey there! Thanks for sharing your feedback. Typically, in Atlas, we have always treated Projects as the trust boundary and therefore access control and authorization have always been configured at the project level. A shareable list is an interesting idea that we had not considered before, and is something we can consider for future improvement. We have also seen many customers leverage infrastructure-as-code (e.g. Terraform or AWS CDK) to manage common templates that should be applied to multiple Atlas projects. Is that something you have used/considered before, and/or found not suitable?
AWS provides Prefix List management, enabling teams to create and centrally manage shared IP address lists for whitelisting. This greatly simplifies administration by allowing multiple services, security groups, and accounts to reference the same reusable IP set.
MongoDB Atlas currently manages IP access lists on a per-project basis. However, many organizations operate multiple projects and environments (dev, staging, production) that require consistent and centrally maintained IP whitelisting.
Requested Feature:
Introduce an organization-level reusable IP list (similar to AWS Prefix Lists) that can be referenced across multiple Atlas projects. This would provide:
Centralized management of trusted IP ranges
Reduced duplication and configuration drift
Easier updates—modify once, apply everywhere
Improved security consistency across environments
Simplified automation and governance
This feature would significantly enhance operational efficiency for organizations managing multi-project Atlas deployments.
