Create readonly mongoose/mongodb connection or protect schema from modifying/deleting object?

Question

I have an application that connects to an existing database and retrieves some data from it. This app will use this database in read-only mode. Despite it is our code I would like to add 'fool-level' protection from modifying/deleting documents accidentally by other developers/myself in the future. Tried with pre hooks but it looks that there're different remove hooks, query, model, document, etc... But I couldn't achieve consistency in behavior for all types of removing queries, query, model, document, etc... Is there any appropriate solution to this task?

Create a read-only user and connect through that user: https://sysadmins.co.za/create-read-only-users-in-mongodb/
