      MongoDB Atlas - User Guide

      In this article, you will understand step by step how to easily integrate with MongoDB Atlas

      Permissions for MongoDB Atlas Integration 

      To integrate with MongoDB, you should have one of the following Organization Access permissions.

      If you wish to grant minimum access, select option 1 Organization read-only, when assigning permissions.

      1. Organization Read Only

        This permission automates 5 out of 6 audit related monitors. It provides most of the automation capabilities. However, keep in mind that the "Organization Read Only" permission does not allow for the collection of organization settings, which is necessary for the remaining monitor (MFA enforcement in the organization settings) to fully automate this integration.

      2. Organization Owner

        To achieve complete automation, the "Organization Owner" permission is required. This level of access enables data collection at the organization level, specifically for monitoring MFA enforcement in the organization settings. If you want to cover all aspects of this integration, granting "Organization Owner" permission is essential but it's not mandatory for the integration.

      Prerequisites

      1. Log into your MongoDB Atlas account as a Organization Owner. This role should possess the necessary permissions to create public and private keys. These keys are required to establish Scytale's connection.

      How to Connect Scytale and MongoDB Atlas

      1) In Scytale, go to 'Integrations'.

       2) Search for MongoDB Atlas and select 'Connect'.


      3) Paste the Public and Private keys.

      Learn how to create these keys below.


      4) Add a connection name - this will be used to differentiate between your connections - and then select 'Connect'.

      5) Select projects that are pertinent to the audit to ensure that evidence is automatically gathered exclusively from these selected projects.

      Note: if you don't select projects, the connection will not be completed and Scytale cannot collect evidence.

      6) Select 'Confirm'.

       You have now successfully connected to MongoDB Altas!
