Create a MongoDB API key that the Commvault access node can use to access the MongoDB Atlas data for backups and restores. Access nodes run backups and other operations.
When you specify the IP address of the access node for the API key, you can enter either a single IP address or an IP address range using Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation.
