Remove a user with administrative access from your InfluxDB cluster:

1. Remove or deactivate the user in your identity provider.

   Refer to your identity provider's documentation for information about removing users:

   • Keycloak: Deleting a user {{% icon "export" %}}
   • Microsoft Entra ID: How to create, invite, and delete users {{% icon "export" %}}
   • Auth0: Team member management {{% icon "export" %}}

2. Remove the user from your InfluxDB AppInstance resource. You can edit your AppInstance resource directly in your myinfluxdb.yml, or, if you're using the InfluxDB Clustered Helm chart, you can remove users from your values.yaml to modify your AppInstance resource.

   {{< tabs-wrapper >}} {{% tabs %}} AppInstance Helm {{% /tabs %}}

{{% tab-content %}}

If editing your AppInstance resource directly, remove the user from the list of users in the spec.package.spec.admin.users field in your myinfluxdb.yml configuration file--for example:

apiVersion: kubecfg.dev/v1alpha1
kind: AppInstance
# ...
spec:
  package:
    spec:
      admin:
        # ...
        users:
        - id: XXooXoXXooXXXoo1
          firstName: Marty
          lastName: McFly
          email: mcfly@influxdata.com
-       - id: XXooXoXXooXXXoo2
-         firstName: John
-         lastName: Doe
-         email: j.doe@influxdata.com

{{% /tab-content %}} {{% tab-content %}}

If using the InfluxDB Clustered Helm chart, remove the user from the list of users in the admin.users field in your in your values.yaml--for example:

admin:
  # ...
  users:
    - id: XXooXoXXooXXXoo1
      firstName: Marty
      lastName: McFly
      email: mcfly@influxdata.com
-   - id: XXooXoXXooXXXoo2
-     firstName: John
-     lastName: Doe
-     email: j.doe@influxdata.com

{{% /tab-content %}} {{< /tabs-wrapper >}}

3. Apply the change to your InfluxDB cluster.

   • If updating the AppInstance resource directly, use kubectl to apply the change.
   • If using the InfluxDB Clustered Helm chart, use helm to apply the change.

{{< code-tabs-wrapper >}} {{% code-tabs %}} kubectl Helm {{% /code-tabs %}} {{% code-tab-content %}}

kubectl apply \
  --filename myinfluxdb.yml \
  --namespace influxdb

{{% /code-tab-content %}} {{% code-tab-content %}}

helm upgrade \
  influxdb \
  influxdata/influxdb3-clustered \
  -f ./values.yaml \
  --namespace influxdb

{{% /code-tab-content %}} {{< /code-tabs-wrapper >}}

{{% note %}} After you complete step 1 above, the removed user no longer has administrative access to your InfluxDB cluster. However, you should still remove them from your AppInstance resource. {{% /note %}}
