Use the influxdb3 create token --admin subcommand
or the HTTP API
to create an admin token for your {{< product-name omit="Clustered" >}} instance.
An admin token grants full access to all actions for your InfluxDB 3 instance.
[!Note]
Store secure tokens in a secret store
Token strings are returned only on token creation. We recommend storing database tokens in a secure secret store. If you lose the admin token string, you must regenerate the token.
Create an admin token
Use the influxdb3 CLI
Use the influxdb3 create token --admin command:
influxdb3 create token --admin
The command returns the token string in plain text.
To use the token as the default for later commands, and to persist the token
across sessions, assign the token string to the INFLUXDB3_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable.
[!Caution] Protect your admin token. Anyone with access to the admin token has full control over your {{< product-name >}} instance.
