Users are those with access to InfluxDB.
|
|
To grant a user permission to access data, add them as a
|
|
[member of an organization](/influxdb/v2/admin/organizations/members/)
|
|
and provide them with an [API token](/influxdb/v2/admin/tokens/).
|
|
|
|
The following articles walk through managing users.

#### InfluxDB 2.x/1.x compatibility
|
|
If you [upgraded from 1.x to {{< current-version >}}](/influxdb/v2/upgrade/v1-to-v2/),
|
|
use the [`influx v1 auth`](/influxdb/v2/reference/cli/influx/v1/auth/) commands
|
|
to manage authorizations for the InfluxDB [1.x compatibility API](/influxdb/v2/reference/api/influxdb-1x/).
