Secure MongoDB data and prevent accidental writes or unintended modifications with Read-Only Mode, which can be set for a specific collection or an entire connection. Read-Only Mode can be useful when working with data, especially during critical operations. Ready to get started and protect your MongoDB collection data?
Try Studio 3T for freeSet a MongoDB collection to read-only
- Open a collection from the Connection Tree.
This opens a Collection Tab.
- In the Result tab toolbar, click on the Lock icon.
This prevents you from modifying MongoDB documents in all three views (Table, Tree, and JSON View).
Set a MongoDB connection to read-only
- Open a MongoDB connection – new or existing – using the Connection Manager.
- On the New Connection dialog or the Edit Connection dialog, select Read-Only Lock on the Server tab.
Note that setting a connection to read-only mode makes just the query results read-only in Studio 3T. It does not affect MongoDB permissions, roles, or the state of the data on the server.
