Update a database token Use the [`influxctl token update` command](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/reference/cli/influxctl/token/update/) or the [Management HTTP API](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/api/management/) to update a database token's permissions in your InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated cluster.

Use the influxctl CLI or the Management HTTP API to update a database token's permissions {{< product-name omit=" Clustered" >}} cluster.

{{< tabs-wrapper >}} {{% tabs %}} influxctl Management API {{% /tabs %}} {{% tab-content %}}

Use the influxctl token update command to update a database token's permissions in your {{< product-name omit=" Clustered" >}} cluster.

  1. If you haven't already, download and install the influxctl CLI, and then configure an influxctl connection profile for your cluster.

  2. To list token IDs, run the influxctl token list command in your terminal.

    influxctl token list
    

    Copy the token ID of the token you want to update.

  3. In your terminal, run the influxctl token update command and provide the following:

    • Token permissions (read and write)

      • --read-database: Grants read permissions to the specified database. Repeatable.
      • --write-database: Grants write permissions to the specified database. Repeatable.

      Both of these flags support the * wildcard which grants read or write permissions to all databases. Enclose wildcards in single or double quotes--for example: '*' or "*".

    • the token ID

{{% code-placeholders "DATABASE_NAME|TOKEN_ID" %}}

influxctl token update \
  --description "my updated test token" \
  --read-database DATABASE_NAME \
  --write-database DATABASE_NAME \
  TOKEN_ID

{{% /code-placeholders %}}

Replace the following:

  • {{% code-placeholder-key %}}DATABASE_NAME{{% /code-placeholder-key %}}: your {{% product-name %}} database- {{% code-placeholder-key %}}TOKEN ID{{% /code-placeholder-key %}}: ID of the token to update

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

This example uses cURL to send a Management HTTP API request, but you can use any HTTP client.

  1. If you haven't already, follow the instructions to install cURL for your system.

  2. In your terminal, use cURL to send a request to the following {{% product-name %}} endpoint:

    {{% api-endpoint endpoint="https://console.influxdata.com/api/v0/accounts/ACCOUNT_ID/clusters/CLUSTER_ID/tokens/TOKEN_ID" method="patch" api-ref="/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/api/management/#operation/UpdateDatabaseToken" %}}

    In the URL, provide the following:

    Provide the following request headers:

    • Accept: application/json to ensure the response body is JSON content
    • Content-Type: application/json to indicate the request body is JSON content
    • Authorization: Bearer and a Management API token for your cluster (see how to create a management token for Management API requests).

    In the request body, provide the following parameters:

    • permissions: an array of token permissions (read or write) objects:
      • "action": Specify read or write permission to the database.
      • "resource": Specify the database name.
    • description: Provide a description of the token.

The following example shows how to use the Management API to update a token's permissions:

{{% code-placeholders "DATABASE_NAME|ACCOUNT_ID|CLUSTER_ID|MANAGEMENT_TOKEN" %}}

curl \
   --location "https://console.influxdata.com/api/v0/accounts/ACCOUNT_ID/clusters/CLUSTER_ID/tokens/TOKEN_ID" \
   --request PATCH \
   --header "Accept: application/json" \
   --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
   --header "Authorization: Bearer MANAGEMENT_TOKEN" \
   --data '{
             "description": "my updated test token",
              "permissions": [
                {
                  "action": "read",
                  "resource": "DATABASE_NAME"
                },
                {
                  "action": "write",
                  "resource": "DATABASE_NAME"
                }
              ]
           }'

Replace the following in your request:

  • {{% code-placeholder-key %}}ACCOUNT_ID{{% /code-placeholder-key %}}: the ID of the {{% product-name %}} account to create the database token for
  • {{% code-placeholder-key %}}CLUSTER_ID{{% /code-placeholder-key %}}: the ID of the {{% product-name %}} cluster to create the database token for
  • {{% code-placeholder-key %}}MANAGEMENT TOKEN{{% /code-placeholder-key %}}: a management token for your {{% product-name %}} cluster
  • {{% code-placeholder-key %}}DATABASE_NAME{{% /code-placeholder-key %}}: a {{% product-name %}} database that the token will have read or write permission to

{{% /code-placeholders %}}

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

{{% note %}}

Existing permissions are replaced on update

When updating token permissions, the existing permissions are replaced by the new permissions specified in the update command. To retain existing permissions, include them in the update command. {{% /note %}}

Examples

In the examples below, replace the following:

  • {{% code-placeholder-key %}}DATABASE_NAME{{% /code-placeholder-key %}}: your {{< product-name >}} database
  • {{% code-placeholder-key %}}DATABASE2_NAME{{% /code-placeholder-key %}}: your {{< product-name >}} database
  • {{% code-placeholder-key %}}TOKEN ID{{% /code-placeholder-key %}}: ID of the token to update
  • {{% code-placeholder-key %}}ACCOUNT_ID{{% /code-placeholder-key %}}: the ID of the {{% product-name %}} account to create the database token for
  • {{% code-placeholder-key %}}CLUSTER_ID{{% /code-placeholder-key %}}: the ID of the {{% product-name %}} cluster to create the database token for
  • {{% code-placeholder-key %}}MANAGEMENT TOKEN{{% /code-placeholder-key %}}: a management token for your {{% product-name %}} cluster
