Hi @mrtonyq22,
The only way I know is using the db.updateUser() function:
db.updateUser( username, update, writeConcern )
Updates the user’s profile on the database on which you run the method. An update to a field completely replaces the previous field’s values. This includes updates to the user’s roles array.
You can check more about it here:

Hi there,
DigitalOcean now supports per-database MongoDB RBAC (role-based access control) through the API. This means you can limit MongoDB users to specific databases and assign roles like Admin, Read/Write, or Read-Only.
You can find more details in the announcement here: https://www.digitalocean.com/blog/rbac-and-predefined-roles-for-mongodb
