killAllSessions¶: New in version 3.6.

The killAllSessions command kills all sessions for the specified users.

Syntax¶

The command has the following syntax:

db.runCommand( { killAllSessions: [ { user: <user>, db: <dbname> }, ... ]  } )

The command takes an array of documents where each document specifies the user and the user’s authentication database. Specify an empty array to kill all sessions for all users in the system.

To view existing sessions, see $listSessions operation or $listLocalSessions.

Access Control¶

If the deployment enforces authentication/authorization, you must have the killAnySession to run the killAllSessions command.

Note

Users can kill their own sessions even without killAnySession privilege action.

Examples¶

Kill All Sessions¶

The following operation kills all sessions for all users in the system:

Kill All Sessions for Specific Users¶

   { user: "appReader", db: "db1" },
   { user: "reportWriter", db: "db2" }
] } )
