dropAllUsersFromDatabase¶

Removes all users from the database on which you run the command.

Warning

The dropAllUsersFromDatabase removes all users from the database.

The dropAllUsersFromDatabase command has the following syntax:

{ dropAllUsersFromDatabase: 1,
  writeConcern: { <write concern> }
}

The dropAllUsersFromDatabase document has the following fields:

Field	Type	Description
`dropAllUsersFromDatabase`	integer	Specify `1` to drop all the users from the current database.
`writeConcern`	document	Optional. The level of write concern for the removal operation. The `writeConcern` document takes the same fields as the `getLastError` command.

You must have the dropUser action on a database to drop a user from that database.

The following sequence of operations in the mongo shell drops every user from the products database:

use products
db.runCommand( { dropAllUsersFromDatabase: 1, writeConcern: { w: "majority" } } )

The n field in the results document shows the number of users removed:

{ "n" : 12, "ok" : 1 }
