Permission level for setting Log level without being root - mongodb

Question

I have a user with the roles userAdminAnyDatabase and readWriteAnyDatabase. But this does not seem to be enough to set log level for my database. So what permissions do I need to set without having to make my user root?
This is the error I get:
[thread1] Error: setLogLevel failed:{
"ok" : 0,
"errmsg" : "not authorized on admin to execute command { setParameter: 1.0, logComponentVerbosity: { verbosity: 3.0 } }",
"code" : 13
}

TL;DR Before use administrative command you need select admin database:
use admin
Also you need hostManager role or permission setParameter for cluster resource.
Read more about administrative command, admin database and setParameter
setLogLevel use administrative command setParameter:
function (logLevel, component) {
componentNames = [];
if (typeof component === "string") {
componentNames = component.split(".");
} else if (component !== undefined) {
throw Error("setLogLevel component must be a string:" + tojson(component));
}
var vDoc = {verbosity: logLevel};
// nest vDoc
for (var key, obj; componentNames.length > 0;) {
obj = {};
key = componentNames.pop();
obj[key] = vDoc;
vDoc = obj;
}
var res = this.adminCommand({setParameter: 1, logComponentVerbosity: vDoc});
if (!res.ok)
throw _getErrorWithCode(res, "setLogLevel failed:" + tojson(res));
return res;
}
