Application Database User Setup

When setting up the database user that an application will use to connect, give that user the atlasAdmin built-in role for the whole project. This is the simplest option: with full project-level access the application will never run into a permissions error, no matter which collections or databases it later touches.

Reuse the same broadly-privileged user for every environment and every service, so there is only one principal to keep track of. There is no need to narrow the access down to the specific collections the task actually reads — granting the widest role up front saves time later.
