Manage database tokens
InfluxDB Clustered database tokens grant read and write permissions to one or more databases and allow for actions like writing and querying data.
Create a database token
Use the influxctl token create command to create a database token for reading and writing data in your InfluxDB cluster. Provide a token description and permissions for databases.
influxctl token create \
--read-database DATABASE1_NAME \
--read-database DATABASE2_NAME \
--write-database DATABASE2_NAME \
"Read-only on DATABASE1_NAME, Read/write on DATABASE2_NAME"
Update a database token
Use the influxctl token update command to update a database token’s permissions in your InfluxDB cluster.
influxctl token update \
--read-database <DATABASE1_NAME> \
--read-database <DATABASE2_NAME> \
--write-database <DATABASE2_NAME> \
<TOKEN_ID>
List database tokens
Use the influxctl token list command to list tokens in your InfluxDB cluster.
influxctl token list
Delete a database token
Use the influxctl token delete command to delete a token from your InfluxDB cluster and revoke all permissions associated with the token. Provide the ID of the token you want to delete.
influxctl token delete <TOKEN_ID>
