The `influx export stack` command exports all resources associated with a stack as a template.
All `metadata.name` fields remain the same.

{{% note %}}
To export resources as a template, you must use the **Operator token** created for
the initial InfluxDB user or an **All Access token**.
For information about creating an All Access API token, see [Create an API token](/influxdb/version/admin/tokens/create-token/).
