      GridFS ensures two indexes before doing some operations. It tries to avoid calling createIndex on a secondary, but doesn't recover if it gets a "not authorized" error.

      This needs a drivers-wide spec, eventually part of the GridFS Spec. It may be reasonable to catch OperationFailure and ignore it for "not authorized" or the appropriate error codes.

      class TestGridfsAuth(IntegrationTest):

    @client_context.require_auth
    def test_gridfs_readonly(self):
        # "self.client" is logged in as root. Make a read-only user.
        auth_db = self.client.test_gridfs_readonly
        auth_db.add_user('readonly', 'pw', roles=['read'])
        self.addCleanup(remove_all_users, auth_db)

        db = rs_or_single_client_noauth().test_gridfs_readonly
        db.authenticate('readonly', 'pw')
        gridfs.GridFS(db).list()
