User and Environment Management¶
On this page
This page helps you manage users that have access to your MMS groups, and also enables you to create and manage groups.
User Management¶
You can grant users access to your group in the “Users” section of
the MMS console. Click on the + ADD USER icon next
to your account name and enter their email in the dialogue.
If the console finds a
connected account, MMS will automatically add the user to the MMS
console.
Note
With MongoDB Management Service On-Prem, user accounts and groups are independent from JIRA. This is in contrast to the MongoDB Management Service, which shares account and group information with the MongoDB JIRA instance.
Users can create accounts at any time using the account registration page of your MMS installation.
Working with Multiple Environments¶
If you have multiple MongoDB systems in distinct environments and cannot monitor all systems with a single agent, you will need to add a new group. Having a second group makes it possible to run two agents, because the API and secret keys are unique to the group.
You may also use a second group and agent to monitor a different set of MongoDB instances in the same environment if you want to segregate the hosts within the MMS console. A user can only view data from the hosts monitored in a single group at once.
After adding a second group, the MMS interface will have a drop down list that will allow you to change groups. Selecting a new group will refresh the current page with the data available from the servers in this group.
Create Group¶
To add a new group click on the “Add
New Group” link on the upper left hand side of the “Users” page. Then,
specify the new group name and select the Add New Group button
to create the new group. Group names must be unique and you cannot reuse
a group name. After creating a
group, only the current user account is a member that group.
To add more people, click on the + Add/Invite User button and
complete the form.
Rename Group¶
If you want to change the name of a group, click on the “Edit Group Name” button (with the pencil icon) near your group name at the top of the “Users” page of the MMS console. Group names must be unique and you cannot reuse a group name.
Remove Group¶
You can remove users from a group at any time from the Users tab, by clicking on the “garbage can” icon.
Although it’s not possible to delete a group, you can remove a group by removing all users from the group, and then remove your own account from the group. The group will then be orphaned. It will remain for auditing purposes, but be otherwise inaccessible.
