db.getUsers(<options>)

Returns information for all the users in the database.

The db.getUsers() method can take the following options:

db.getUsers( {
   showCredentials: <Boolean>,
   filter: <document>
} )

Field	Type	Description
`showCredentials`	boolean	Optional. Set the field to true to display the user's password hash. By default, this field is `false`.
`filter`	document	Optional. A document that specifies `$match` stage conditions to return information for users that match the filter conditions.

For more information, see usersInfo.

To view another user's information, you must have the viewUser action on the other user's database.

Users can view their own information.

The db.getUsers() method can accept a filter document to return information for users that match the filter condition.

To view all users for the current database who have SCRAM-SHA-256 credentials:

db.getUsers({ filter: { mechanisms: "SCRAM-SHA-256" } })

When viewing all users, you can specify the showCredentials option but not the showPrivileges or the showAuthenticationRestrictions options.
