Please check where you created the user
“db” : “test”—> is not correct

Thanks for your reply
I havent specified that DB in the create user command, below is what I have used to create the user

MongoDB Enterprise > db.createUser({ user:“m103-admin”, pwd:“m103-pass”,roles: [ {role:“root”,db:“admin”} ]})

By default you will be in test DB when you connect to mongo with mongo --port 27000
You can check by db
Please make sure you are creating the user in admin by switching the DB by
use admin
