Security quickstart

info

By default your Atlas deployment is completely locked down. To access it, you need to create access credentials and configure network access.

1. To create a database user, provide secure credentials and click Create User.

   

2. Next, configure the IP address list. Only connections coming from the allow-listed IPs will be accepted. You should see that your IP address was added by default. Additionally, add the address 0.0.0.0/0 which allows access from anywhere and click Add Entry.

   

3. Finally, click Finish and Close and then, Go to Databases.

4. Creating the database may take a minute. Once the deployment is complete, you'll see your database in the list!
