    <p>I want to add a super user to <code>admin</code> database from MongoDB using NodeJS. My first try is this:</p> <pre><code>var Db = require('mongodb').Db, MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient, Server = require('mongodb').Server; var db = new Db('admin', new Server('locahost', 27017)); // Establish connection to db db.open(function(err, db) { if (err) { return console.log(err); } console.log("Opened database"); // Add a user to the database db.addUser('superuser', '1234', { roles: [ "userAdminAnyDatabase", "dbAdminAnyDatabase", "clusterAdmin", "readWriteAnyDatabase" ] }, function(err, result) { if (err) { return console.log(err); } console.log("Added."); }); }); </code></pre> <p>When running the script I got this error:</p> <blockquote> <p><code>[Error: failed to connect to [locahost:27017]]</code></p> </blockquote> <p>And before this:</p> <pre><code>======================================================================================== = Please ensure that you set the default write concern for the database by setting = = one of the options = = = = w: (value of &gt; -1 or the string 'majority'), where &lt; 1 means = = no write acknowledgement = = journal: true/false, wait for flush to journal before acknowledgement = = fsync: true/false, wait for flush to file system before acknowledgement = = = = For backward compatibility safe is still supported and = = allows values of [true | false | {j:true} | {w:n, wtimeout:n} | {fsync:true}] = = the default value is false which means the driver receives does not = = return the information of the success/error of the insert/update/remove = = = = ex: new Db(new Server('localhost', 27017), {safe:false}) = = = = http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/getLastError+Command = = = = The default of no acknowledgement will change in the very near future = = = = This message will disappear when the default safe is set on the driver Db = ======================================================================================== </code></pre> <p>How can I fix the script to add the user <code>superuser</code> with password <code>1234</code> to <code>admin</code> database from MongoDB?</p>

    1. COAdministrative operations like adding an admin should rather be done through the mongo shell, not through a program.

    2. CO@Philipp So, I guess the best alternative would be to run shell commands from Nodejs side... Right?

    3. COWhen your error is `[Error: failed to connect to [locahost:27017]]` it likely means that the problem occurs **long before** you try to create a new user. So when you wonder how to create a user, you are searching in the wrong direction.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
