 ### Data model
 
 The database server contains logical databases, which have tables, which have columns. Compared to previous versions of InfluxDB you can think of a database as a `bucket` in v2 or as a `db/retention_policy` in v1. A `table` is equivalent to a `measurement`, which has columns that can be of type `tag` (a string dictionary), `int64`, `float64`, `uint64`, `bool`, or `string` and finally every table has a `time` column that is a nanosecond precision timestamp.

-- `--permission`: Create a token with permissions
-- `--name`: A unique description of the token

+- `--name`: A unique name for the token

      If an expiration isn't set, the token does not expire until revoked.
   - `--token` option with the admin token to use for authentication
 - Token permissions as a string literal in the `RESOURCE_TYPE:RESOURCE_NAMES:ACTIONS` format--for example:
   - `"db:mydb:read,write"`
