+## Security
+
+By default, MongoDB **does not enforce access control**, meaning that even if you set an admin username and password in the settings of your Pterodactyl server, **anyone will be able to connect to the database without authentication**, and perform any operation.
+
+> :warning: This is why we recommend to expose your MongoDB database only to your local network, if possible
+
+### Enabling authentication
+
+To enable authentification, you need to edit the following lines to your `mongod.conf` file:
+
+```yaml
+security:
+  authorization: "enabled"
+```
+
+> :closed_lock_with_key: To learn more about MongoDB security, you can read the [MongoDB Security Checklist](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/administration/security-checklist/#security-checklist)
+
+### Notes specific to the MongoDB 6 egg
+
+**The [MongoDB 6 egg](./egg-mongo-d-b6.json) enables access control by default** in the `mongod.conf` file, meaning that even if people will be able to connect to your database as guests, [they will not be able to perform any operation, apart from nonhazardous commands](https://dba.stackexchange.com/a/292175)
+
+### Disabling authentication
+
+**If you know what you are doing** and want to explicitly disable access control, you can edit the following lines to your `mongod.conf` file:
+
+```yaml
+security:
+  authorization: "disabled"
+```
+
 ## Minimum RAM warning
 
 MongoDB requires approximately 1GB of RAM per 100.000 assets. If the system has to start swapping memory to disk, this will have a severely negative impact on performance, and should be avoided.
