MongoDB and Mongoose - Create and Save a Record of a Model, user is not allowed to do action [insert] on [test.people]

Hi,

I have done the exercise exactly how I’m asked to but I keep getting this error, I already searched for it but no one seems to have posted about it.

MongoError: user is not allowed to do action [insert] on [test.people]

My code:

require('dotenv').config();

/** 1) Install & Set up mongoose */
const mongoose = require('mongoose');

mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGO_URI, { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true })
.then(() => console.log("Connection successful!"))
.catch((err) => console.log("Connection SUCKS!", err.message));

//Create Schema
const { Schema } = mongoose;

let personSchema = new Schema({
  name: { type: String, required: true},
  age: Number,
  favoriteFoods: [String]
});

//Create Model
let Person = mongoose.model('Person', personSchema);

const createAndSavePerson = (done) => {
  let john = new Person({ name: 'John', age: 55, favoriteFoods: ['string1', 'string2'] });
  
  john.save(function(err, data) {
    if (err) return console.error(err);
    done(null, data);
  });
};

I was sure I did, is it possible to edit or do I need to restart? Project role is “Project Owner”

That solved it, thank you very much!

I’m sure I followed every step but maybe I missed that one.
