influx user create
Works with InfluxDB OSS 2.x
The influx user command and its subcommands manage InfluxDB OSS 2.x users,
but do not manage users in InfluxDB Cloud.
Use the InfluxDB Cloud UI to manage account information.
The influx user create command creates a user in InfluxDB.

Authentication credentials
The examples below assume your InfluxDB host, organization, and token are
provided by either the active influx CLI configuration or by environment variables (INFLUX_HOST, INFLUX_ORG, and INFLUX_TOKEN).
If you do not have a CLI configuration set up or the environment variables set, include these required credentials for each command with the following flags:
--host: InfluxDB host-o, --orgor--org-id: InfluxDB organization name or ID-t, --token: InfluxDB API token
Create a user
