Enable and disable balancing on a collection

Shell commands sh.enableBalancing() and sh.disableBalancing() were not permitted on Atlas hosted MongoDB. Is it possible to grant this permission? Currently it failed with error: ``` uncaught exception: Error: command failed: { "ok" : 0, "errmsg" : "not authorized on config to execute command { update: \"collections\", ordered: true, writeConcern: { w: \"majority\", wtimeout: 60000.0 }, lsid: { id: UUID(\"ed83ed26-e07b-4f34-a90a-a145bbe58a48\") }, $clusterTime: { clusterTime: Timestamp(1646788928, 17), signature: { hash: BinData(0, 347249E35ED43BDADAE12FB0F794C091CB86206E), keyId: 7052082196881866761 } }, $db: \"config\" }", "code" : 13, "codeName" : "Unauthorized", "operationTime" : Timestamp(1646788928, 18), "$clusterTime" : { "clusterTime" : Timestamp(1646788928, 18), "signature" : { "hash" : BinData(0,"NHJJ417UO9ra4S+w95TAkcuGIG4="), "keyId" : NumberLong("7052082196881866761") } } } : _getErrorWithCode@src/mongo/shell/utils.js:25:13 doassert@src/mongo/shell/assert.js:18:14 _assertCommandWorked@src/mongo/shell/assert.js:710:13 assert.commandWorked@src/mongo/shell/assert.js:811:16 sh.disableBalancing@src/mongo/shell/utils_sh.js:282:12 @(shell):1:1 ```
