Use the InfluxDB user interface (UI) or the `influx` command line interface (CLI)
|
|
to update a user.
|
|
|
|
## Update a user in the InfluxDB UI
|
|
|
|
{{% note %}}
|
|
User information cannot be updated in the InfluxDB UI.
|
|
{{% /note %}}

## Update a user using the influx CLI
|
|
|
|
Use the [`influx user update` command](/influxdb/v2/reference/cli/influx/user/update)
|
|
to update a user. Provide the following:
|
|
|
|
- An [operator token](/influxdb/v2/admin/tokens/#operator-token) using your
|
|
[`influx` CLI connection configuration](/influxdb/v2/reference/cli/influx/#provide-required-authentication-credentials),
|
|
`INFLUX_TOKEN` environment variable, or the `--token, -t` flag.
|
|
- The user ID _(provided in the output of `influx user list`)_ using the `--id, -i` flag.
|
|
- The new username for the user using the `--name, -n` flag.
|
|
|
|
##### Update the name of a user
|
|
|
|
{{% code-placeholders "USER_ID|NEW_USERNAME" %}}
|
|
```sh
|
|
influx user update \
|
|
--id USER_ID \
|
|
--name NEW_USERNAME
|
|
```
|
|
{{% /code-placeholders %}}
|
|
|
|
Replace the following:
|
|
|
|
- {{% code-placeholder-key %}}`USER_ID`{{% /code-placeholder-key %}}:
|
|
The ID of the user to update
|
|
- {{% code-placeholder-key %}}`NEW_USERNAME`{{% /code-placeholder-key %}}:
|
|
The new username for the user
