Example

View All Users for a Database that Match the Specified Filter

New in version 4.0: The db.getUsers() method can accept a filter document to return information for users that match the filter condition.

To view all users for the current database who have SCRAM-SHA-256 credentials:

When viewing all users, you can specify the showCredentials option but not the showPrivileges or the showAuthenticationRestrictions options.
