@ExperimentsInHonesty and @rachelwhaley have been given admin-level access.

The server root env file that the developers are using contains credentials to access the "testdb" database in the MongoDB dashboard. This has been the persistent testing environment, but it does not reflect the "live" data. The development version in staging on Heroku also uses these test credentials (environment variables are located in the settings tab) to test the app after pushing to development on Heroku. The production version of the app on Heroku uses a different environment variable in the settings tab for the MongoDB connection to the live database. I can provide the connection string if needed, or it should be available from MongoDB.

I believe that this can be closed when #264 gets merged.

Should be prioritized again when the test database will be moved to the local environment. Blocked by #1
