This is the script I am using to create user accounts in MongoDB:

mongo <



This works for the creating first user, but not the second user. This is the error that is returned:

connecting to: mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/?compressors=disabled&gssapiServiceName=mongodb
Implicit session: session { "id" : UUID("f648b868-7863-4d5c-9912-e3e87b24f4e8") }
MongoDB server version: 4.4.6
switched to db admin
Successfully added user: { "user" : "ram", "roles" : [ "root" ] }
uncaught exception: Error: couldn't add user: command createUser requires authentication :
_getErrorWithCode@src/mongo/shell/utils.js:25:13
DB.prototype.createUser@src/mongo/shell/db.js:1386:11

bye
