Answer 1

I think this is more a heroku problem than a django problem. It appears to be that you're not allowed to add users on the mongodb instance; were you send a username and password to plug into the django settings?

Answer 2

Heroku Postgres does not allow for user creation. You'll want to use the connection string provided in DATABASE_URL. Actions like creating/dropping DB's and creating users is prohibited.

Answer 3

First you should connect to your mongodb terminal without any authentication, then you try to create user or user-role which you want to do.
