Robomongo: 0.9.0 RC - Cannot load list of users (user management)

[acliyang]

Hello all,
I found 2 issues after enable Client Access Control in MongoDB v3.2.6, I use admin account to login.
1: Click users in admin DB, an error display "Cannot load list of users. Error:wrong type for field(_id) 2 != 7".

2: Try add User in any database, it is done without any error. But new added user is not there when I check by "db.getUsers()".

My environment:
Robomongo version 0.90-RC8
MongoDB version 3.2.6
Login robo user with "userAdminAnyDatabase" role.
mongo-shell command "db.getUsers()" is working as normal.
client OS: Windows10 64bit

@acliyang Thank for the reporting! This is known bug, one of the scenarios was described here #1041.
We will work on fixing issue with users in further releases. Now our main priority is SSL feature (you can track progress with card #1002). We'll let you know about any updates.

This user management functionality is completely broken. Listing doesn't always work, creating users works or not (mostly not or the password is not set) and updating user also doesn't work correctly (password field doesn't work at all).

If functionality isn't working fine, you should remove it temporarily rather than leaving it in the UI broken.

I found this out when creating, removing and updating users in Robo but I was constantly facing issues with permissions and logins then resorted back to mongo shell not everything works fine.

Hi @acliyang! You're absolutely correct about Users functionality. It's known issue and we are planning to fix it in the next releases. You could find our work plan on the project page https://github.com/paralect/robomongo#whats-planned-for-the-next-release. Also we will consider your suggestion about hidden this section, thank you! We will get back to you on any news.

Trying to add users and running into the same issue 9 months later. Any news on a fix?

Robomongo Issue not Solved. it is working fine with MongoDB command line interface.
Example : -
use admin
db.system.users.findOne({user: "admin"})

Hi

I had met the same question.
Use mongo cmd to create admin_user db.createUser(), then use Robomongo to list admin user.

I am using Studio 3T now (company purchased), I guess Robomongo will not be updated any more becuase robomongo belong to Studio 3T company now.
Anyway, appreciate robomongo team to make such good product, let me use MongoDB more easily at beginning.
