Use the InfluxDB user interface (UI) or the `influx` command line interface (CLI)
|
|
to create a user.
|
|
|
|
## Create a user in the InfluxDB UI
|
|
|
|
{{% note %}}
|
|
While in alpha, additional users cannot be created in the InfluxDB UI.
|
|
{{% /note %}}
|
|
|
|
## Create a user using the influx CLI
|
|
|
|
Use the [`influx user create` command](/v2.0/reference/cli/influx/user/create)
|
|
to create a new user. A new user requires the following:
|
|
|
|
- A username
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Pattern
|
|
influx user create -n <username>
|
|
|
|
# Example
|
|
influx user create -n johndoe
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Create a user with a password and organization
|
|
To create a new user with a password and add the user as a member of an organization,
|
|
include a password and organization ID with the `influx user create` command.
|
|
|
|
_Use the [`influx org find` command](/v2.0/reference/cli/influx/org/find/)
|
|
to retrieve your organization ID._
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Pattern
|
|
influx user create -n <username> -p <password> -o <org-id>
|
|
|
|
# Example
|
|
influx user create -n johndoe -p PaSsWoRd -o 0o0x00o0x0000oo0
|
|
```
