Info

Create a user with a single role that has the following privilege: { resource: {db: "test", collection: "x"}, actions: ["reIndex"] } If the user tries to reIndex collection "x", the command fails as shown below: > db.runCommand({reIndex: "x"}) { "nIndexesWas" : 1, "msg" : "indexes dropped for collection", "errmsg" : "exception: invalid ns to index", "code" : 10096, "ok" : 0 } On the other hand, if the user has the dbAdmin role, then the command works just fine: > db.x.save({}) > db.runCommand({ ... createUser: "testUser", ... pwd: "password", ... roles: ["dbAdmin"] ... }) { "ok" : 1 } > db.auth("testUser", "password") 1 > db.runCommand({reIndex: "x"}) { "nIndexesWas" : 1, "msg" : "indexes dropped for collection", "nIndexes" : 1, "indexes" : [ { "key" : { "_id" : 1 }, "ns" : "test.x", "name" : "_id_" } ], "ok" : 1 }

Resolving. spencer commented on Wed, 23 Oct 2013 23:07:39 +0000: david.storch I cannot reproduce this. I think it may have been fixed by https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/commit/2b16aca77cbd4486d780e21636b7043733e12765. Can you re-test and see if you still see this?
