revokeRolesFromUser, revokeRolesFromRole and revokePrivilegesFromRole descriptions under db.help() contain erroneous 'a'

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.


Running db.help() returns this description of revokeRolesFromUser: "Removes a one or more roles from a user on the current database."

And this description of revokeRolesFromRole: "Removes a one or more roles from a role on the current database."

And this description of revokePrivilegesFromRole: "Removes a one or more privileges from a role on the current database."

In all of these the first 'a' in the sentence is grammatically incorrect, the sentences should start with "Removes one or more..."


What would you like to see happen?

Describe the desired outcome or enhancement.

Remove the erroneous 'a' from the help description of revokeRolesFromUser, revokeRolesFromRole and revokePrivilegesFromRole.

Why is this important to you or your team?

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

Not important to my team, just wanted to mention it for your team.

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

None, no need to manage this problem, just something to clean up if your team is ever updating the help descriptions.

    I've raised an internal Docs ticket to have the correction made; thank you for bringing it to our attention. I will update the status to Will Not Implement (This portal is intended for feature requests rather than documentation corrections).
