MongoDB and Mongoose - Create and Save a Record of a Model

JavaScript

Tell us what’s happening:

My database was working for the first few challenges but I cannot seem to get past this one.
I am getting an error that I am not authorized on admin to execute command “insert etc”
I have tried with read/write Role, the Admin Role, even adding a specific permision for this database but nothing seems to be working.
Error Message: MongoError: (Unauthorized) not authorized on admin to execute command { insert: “people”, documents: …
ok: 0,
code: 8000,
codeName: ‘AtlasError’

Where is this error showing up at inside the inspector or the test? I pulled the code from the snapshot but that is only the boilerplate. Anyway local host 3000 is working and I connected to MongoDB.

Yes, MongoDB is connected and working. However I don’t seem to be able to update the database.
The error appears in the terminal that is running node when I run the test from the freeCodeCamp challenge.
On the challenge page it reads: Creating and saving a db item should succeed (Test timed out)

I have figured out the problem.
The connection options: useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true
needed to be set and I hadn’t done that. Apologies for wasting your time, thank you for the help!
