### 6) Recommended: Create a user called "runithCore" with admin perms

**6.1)** Switch to the `admin` database\
The user's authentication database is the database where the user is created. For an administrator with wide-ranging privileges, you should create them in the `admin` database.bash

```bash
use admin
```

**6.2)** Create the user\
Use the `db.createUser()` method. The `root` role, when defined in the `admin` database, grants superuser privileges across the entire MongoDB instance.javascript

```json
db.createUser(
  {
    user: "runithCore",
    pwd: "testPassword", // Use https://www.lastpass.com/es//features/password-generator
    roles: [
      { role: "root", db: "admin" }
    ]
  }
)
```
