Add a user with administrative access to your InfluxDB cluster through your identity provider and your InfluxDB AppInstance resource:

  1. Use your identity provider to create an OAuth2 account for the user that needs administrative access to your InfluxDB cluster.

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

  2. Add the user to 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 add users to your values.yaml to modify your AppInstance resource. Required credentials depend on your identity provider.

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

{{% tab-content %}}

If editing your AppInstance resource directly, provide values for the following fields in your myinfluxdb.yml configuration file:

  • spec.package.spec.admin
    • identityProvider: Identity provider name. If using Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory), set the name to azure.
    • jwksEndpoint: JWKS endpoint provide by your identity provider.
    • users: List of OAuth2 users to grant administrative access to your InfluxDB cluster. IDs are provided by your identity provider.

Below are examples for Keycloak, Auth0, and Microsoft Entra ID, but other OAuth2 providers should work as well:

{{< code-tabs-wrapper >}} {{% code-tabs %}} Keycloak Auth0 Microsoft Entra ID {{% /code-tabs %}} {{% code-tab-content %}}

  1. 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 >}}

Once applied, the added user is granted administrative access to your InfluxDB cluster and can use influxctl to perform administrative actions. See Set up Authorization--Configure influxctl for information about configuring the new user's influxctl client to communicate and authenticate with your InfluxDB cluster's identity provider.
