Answer 1

This works for me:

db.createUser({  
 user:"test1",
 pwd:"test1",
 roles:[  
  {  
     role:"readWrite",
     db:"u8"
  }
 ],
 mechanisms:[  
  "SCRAM-SHA-1"
 ]
})

Answer 2

If you use User Management Methods you have to set param passwordDigestor.

 db.createUser(
  {
    user: "admin",
    pwd: "ADYkdfd332@@33",
    roles: [ { role: "userAdminAnyDatabase", db: "admin" } ],
    passwordDigestor: "<server|client>"
  }
)
