The command has the following syntax:

The command takes an array of documents that specify the patterns to match:
Pattern | Description |
|---|---|
{ lsid: { id : <UUID> } } | Specify the UUID portion of the session id to kill. |
{ uid: <BinData> } | Specifies the hash of the owner of the sessions to kill. |
{ users: [ { user: <user>, db: <dbname> }, ... ] } | Specifies the owners of the sessions to kill. Requires
additional privileges. See
Access Control. |
{ roles: [ { role: <role>, db: <dbname> }, ... ] } | Specifies the roles assigned to the owners of the sessions to
kill. Requires additional privileges. See
Access Control. |
Specify an empty array to kill all sessions. [1]

transactions in prepared state.

Behavior
In-progress Operations
Killing a session kills any in-progress operations in the session and closes any open cursors associated with these operations.
Killed Session Availability
The killed session may still be listed as a current session, and future
operations may use the killed session. To view existing sessions, see
$listSessions operation or $listLocalSessions.
Sessions with Transactions in Prepared State
The killAllSessionsByPattern operation ignores sessions that have transactions in prepared state. Transactions in prepared state
refer to transactions with write operations that span multiple shards
whose commit coordinator has completed the "sendingPrepare"
action.
Access Control
If the deployment enforces authentication/authorization, you must have
the killAnySession privilege action to run the
killAllSessionsByPattern command.
For patterns that include users or roles, you must also have
privileges that grant impersonate action on the cluster
resource.
Note
Users can kill their own sessions even without the
killAnySession privilege action.
Examples
Kill All Sessions
The following operation kills all sessions:
db.runCommand( { killAllSessionsByPattern: [ ] } )
Kill All Sessions for Specific Users
The following operation kills all sessions that have the specified
uid and whose owner has the specified role:
db.runCommand( { killAllSessionsByPattern: [ { "uid" : BinData(0,"oBRA45vMY78p1tv6kChjQPTdYsnCHi/kA/fFMZTIV1o=") }, { roles: [ { role: "readWrite", db: "test" } ] } ] } )
