Please help me debug this error

Can someone please help me debug -
db.abc.find()
I am getting this error:
error: { “$err” : “not authorized for query on foo.request”, “code” : 13 }

Thank you in advance,
Aditya

You need to assign the read role to the user
For MongoDB version 2.6 use:
db.createUser(
{
user: “accountUser”,
pwd: “password”,
roles: “readWrite”, “dbAdmin” ]
}
)

I tried db.createUser(), but it gave me an error: “couldn’t add user: not authorized on my_db to execute command”
