## Enable a token using the influx CLI
Use the [`influx auth active` command](/influxdb/version/reference/cli/influx/auth/active)
to activate a token.
_This command requires an authorization ID, which is available in the output of `influx auth find`._
```sh
# Syntax
influx auth active -i <auth-id>
# Example
influx auth active -i 0804f74142bbf000
```
To get the current status of a token, use the JSON output of the [`influx auth list` command](/influxdb/version/reference/cli/influx/auth/list).
```sh
influx auth find --json
```
### Disable a token using the influx CLI
Use the [`influx auth inactive` command](/influxdb/version/reference/cli/influx/auth/active)
to deactivate a token.
_This command requires an authorization ID, which is available in the output of `influx auth find`._
```sh
# Syntax
influx auth inactive -i <auth-id>
# Example
influx auth inactive -i 0804f74142bbf000
```
To get the current status of a token, use the JSON output of the [`influx auth list` command](/influxdb/version/reference/cli/influx/auth/list).
```sh
influx auth find --json
```
## Update a token using the InfluxDB API
Use the `/api/v2/authorizations` InfluxDB API endpoint to update the description and status of a token.
{{< api-endpoint method="PATCH" endpoint="http://localhost:8086/api/v2/authorizations/AUTH_ID" api-ref="/influxdb/version/api/#operation/PatchAuthorizationsID" >}}
Include the following in your request:
| Requirement | Include by |
|:----------- |:---------- |
| API token with the [`write: authorizations`](/influxdb/version/api/#operation/PostAuthorizations) permission | Use the `Authorization: Token YOUR_API_TOKEN` header. |
| Authorization ID | URL path parameter. |
| Description and/or Status | Pass as `description`, `status` in the request body. |
### Disable a token
```sh
# Update the description and status of the first authorization listed for the user.
curl --request GET \
"http://localhost:8086/api/v2/authorizations?user=user2" \
--header "Authorization: Token ${INFLUX_TOKEN}" \
--header 'Content-type: application/json' \
| jq .authorizations[0].id \
| xargs -I authid curl --request PATCH \
http://localhost:8086/api/v2/authorizations/authid \
--header "Authorization: Token ${INFLUX_TOKEN}" \
--header 'Content-type: application/json' \
--data '{
"description": "deactivated_auth",
"status": "inactive"
}' | jq .
```
