Manage users

Manage users and access to resources in your InfluxDB 3 Cloud instance.

By assigning users to different groups based on the level of access they need, you can minimize unnecessary access and reduce the risk of inadvertent actions. User groups associate access privileges with user attributes—an important part of the Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) security model which grants access based on user attributes, resource types, and environment context.

Available user groups

In InfluxDB 3 Cloud, users have management responsibilities, such as creating and deleting databases and provisioning database tokens for reading and writing data.

A user can belong to the following groups, each with predefined privileges:

  • Admin: Read and write permissions on all resources.
  • Member: Read permission on certain resources and create permission for database tokens; members can’t delete or create databases or admin tokens.
  • Auditor: Read permission on all resources; auditors can’t modify resources.

Users are Admin by default

All users in your account are initially assigned to the Admin group, retaining full access to resources in your instance.

User management methods

Admin users can use the Admin UI to perform the following user management tasks:

  • View users and invitations - View existing users, invite status, invite ID, and invitation date
  • Invite new users - Send invitations with role assignment (Admin, Member, Auditor)
  • Revoke pending invitations - Cancel invitations that haven’t been accepted

Role permissions

Auditor role users can view the invite list but cannot send or revoke invitations. Member role users cannot access the invite list.

For more information, see Manage users in the Admin UI.

Use the InfluxDB 3 Cloud Admin UI to view users, send invitations, assign roles, and manage user access to your instance. Learn how to invite new users, revoke invitations, and understand role-based permissions.
