Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.
This is the error message Im getting:

MongoError: (Unauthorized) not authorized on admin to execute command { insert: “people”, documents: [[{favoriteFoods [cars more cars very rare cars]} {_id ObjectID(“62b337f330249f006ee57835”)} {name Jay Leno} {age 80} {__v 0}]], ordered: true, writeConcern: { w: “majority” }, lsid: { id: {4 [165 119 51 212 57 115 69 189 156 37 110 73 200 128 121 98]} }, txnNumber: 2.000000, $clusterTime: { clusterTime: {1655912434 14}, signature: { hash: {0 [41 21 86 69 1 137 23 49 48 1 106 237 150 81 217 140 76 133 224 12]}, keyId: 7057979277173587968.000000 } }, $db: “admin” }

I understand it telling me im not authorized but Im not really sure why Im not authorized. My passwords match in the env file and database so Im not really sure what else could do to be authorized atm. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When you created the database, you did not add a user which has read/write access. I tested your code and it works fine if the username you specify has the correct permissions.

do you have used db name in connection string ?

Your MONGO_URI should look something like:

mongodb+srv://Username:Password@clustername.mongodb.net/DatabaseName?retryWrites=true&w=majority

See the DatabaseName after the backslash /, make sure it is the name of the database you created on the cluster as @ghulamshabirbaloch mentions.
