# mongoc_find_and_modify_opts_set_bypass_document_validation()

## Synopsis

    bool
    mongoc_find_and_modify_opts_set_bypass_document_validation (
       mongoc_find_and_modify_opts_t *opts, bool bypass);

This option is only available when talking to MongoDB 3.2 and later.

## Parameters

- `opts`: A mongoc_find_and_modify_opts_t.
- `bypass`: If the schema validation rules should be ignored.

## Description

When authentication is enabled, the authenticated user must have either the “dbadmin” or “restore” roles to bypass document validation.

## Returns

Returns `true` if it successfully added the option to the builder, otherwise `false` and logs an error.
