Hi Guys, I am also using the Statefulset, need help while I am trying to login to mongo-0 pod (kubectl exec -ti mongo-0 mongo) and trying to create new user but I am getting below error.

rs0:PRIMARY> use admin
switched to db admin
rs0:PRIMARY> db.createUser({user:"replSetManager",pwd:"password",roles:[{role:"clusterManager",db:"admin"},{role:"dbOwner", db:"adminsblog"},{role:"readWrite", db:"departmentblog"},{role:"read", db:"otherblog"}]})
2021-02-15T07:15:47.812+0000 E QUERY [thread1] Error: couldn't add user: not authorized on admin to execute command { createUser: "replSetManager", pwd: "xxx", roles: [ { role: "clusterManager", db: "admin" }, { role: "dbOwner", db: "adminsblog" }, { role: "readWrite", db: "departmentblog" }, { role: "read", db: "otherblog" } ], digestPassword: false, writeConcern: { w: "majority", wtimeout: 600000.0 } } :

@lalit1980 did you come right with the above error? how did you fix it?

@thilinapiy Is MongoDB Enterprise Kubernetes Operator free to use in development?

It's free for development not for commercial

@thilinapiy the Community version is here https://github.com/mongodb/mongodb-kubernetes-operator

@thilinapiy By any chance, do you know how to add the internal authentication using the MongoDB enterprise kubernetes operator with the keyfile. I do not find much information on the crds and haven't got any good examples in the git repository.
