    Is your users collection in your database or it is a separate collection in different database?

    If in same database and If you are connected to your mongodb server,Try this in terminal.

    mongodump --db yourDbName --authenticationDatabase yourAuthDb(eg:admin) --username yourUserName --password yourPassword --out /pathToDump
