Select the database user privileges. You can assign privileges to the new user

in one or more of the following ways:
37+
38+
- Select a :atlas:`built-in role </security-add-mongodb-users/#built-in-roles>` from the
39+
:guilabel:`Built-in Role` dropdown menu. You can select one
40+
built-in role per database user within the Atlas UI. If you delete the
41+
default option, you can click :guilabel:`Add Built-in Role` to select a new built-in role.
42+
43+
- If you have any :atlas:`custom roles </security-add-mongodb-roles>` defined, you can expand
44+
the :guilabel:`Custom Roles` section and select
45+
one or more roles from the :guilabel:`Custom Roles` dropdown menu. Click
46+
:guilabel:`Add Custom Role` to add more custom roles. You can also
47+
click the :guilabel:`Custom Roles` link to see the custom
48+
roles for your project.
49+

- Expand the :guilabel:`Specific Privileges` section and select one or more
51+
:atlas:`privileges </security-add-mongodb-users/#specific-privileges>` from the
52+
:guilabel:`Specific Privileges` dropdown menu. Click
53+
:guilabel:`Add Specific Privilege` to add more privileges. This assigns the
54+
user specific privileges on individual databases and collections.
55+
56+
{+atlas+} can apply a built-in role, multiple custom roles, and multiple specific
57+
privileges to a single database user.
58+
59+
To remove an applied role or privilege, click :icon-fa4:`trash-o`
60+
:guilabel:`Delete` next to the role or privilege you wish to delete.
61+

65+
next to your :guilabel:`Built-in Role`, :guilabel:`Custom Role`, or

Configure Database Users for {+atlas+}
87+
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
88+
89+
A {+atlas+} project can have users with different authentication methods.
90+
91+
You cannot change a user's authentication method after creating that
92+
user. To use an alternative authentication method, you must create a
93+
new user.
94+
95+
Configure database users for your {+atlas+} deployment who
96+
use :ref:`authentication-scram` authentication:
97+
98+
.. tabs::
99+
100+
.. tab:: Atlas CLI
101+
:tabid: cli
102+
103+
The Atlas CLI uses the following commands to create new database users and
104+
X.509 certificates. The options you specify determine the authentication method.
105+
106+
To create a database user for your project using the Atlas CLI,
107+
run the following command:
108+
109+
.. code-block:: sh
110+
111+
atlas dbusers create [builtInRole]... [options]
112+
113+
To create a new Atlas-managed X.509 certificate for the specified
114+
database user using the Atlas CLI, run the following command:
115+
116+
.. code-block:: sh
117+
118+
atlas dbusers certs create [options]
119+
120+
To learn more about the syntax and parameters for the previous commands,
