Require explicit save when setting default role for federated users

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.

Because the MongoDB Atlas Federation UI automatically saves the default role selection, ALL MongoDB Atlas UI users may be given excessive/restrictive permissions if someone inadvertently changes the default role for federated users

What would you like to see happen?

Describe the desired outcome or enhancement.

given I am using the MongoDB Atlas Federation UI,

when I select a default role for federated users,

then I need to explicitly save the change (rather than it saving automatically)

Why is this important to you or your team?

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

The explicit save helps prevent giving/removing permissions from ALL users.

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