No DB Maintainer Role

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.

To have a maintainer role without data read access

What would you like to see happen?

Describe the desired outcome or enhancement.

With this role, I should be able to view db monitoring, manage indexes, manage cluster configs, view billing details
Data read should be restricted

Why is this important to you or your team?

Explain how the request adds value or solves a business need.

Because of compliance, we're not allowed to view database contents without customer/client constent. To perform maintainence activities always need to login into owner account which has no restrictions

What steps, if any, are you taking today to manage this problem?

No step, need to use owner account always

    Hi @Guest thank you for the request! We've recently added many new Atlas roles that give a lot more flexibility in how you can control access to MongoDB data. One that may be of particular interest is the new Project Observability Viewer role. This role will enable you to view monitoring data, view index recommendations via performance advisor, and more observability-related tasks without granting access to the data. We've also added an Organization Billing Viewer that grants the ability to view billing information at the organizational level. I hope this helps!
