Use the `influx` command line interface (CLI) to create a user.

{{% note %}}
|
|
Additional users cannot be created in the InfluxDB UI.
|
|
{{% /note %}}
|
|
|
|
To create a new user, you must have an [operator token](/influxdb/v2/reference/glossary/#token).
|

For more information, see how to [create an operator token](/influxdb/v2/security/tokens/create-token/#create-an-operator-token).
