influx v1 auth create
Not supported in InfluxDB Cloud
InfluxDB Cloud does not support InfluxDB 1.x compatible authorizations.
Using the influx v1 auth create command with InfluxDB Cloud will result in an error.
To authenticate with InfluxDB Cloud, use InfluxDB token authentication.
The influx v1 auth create command creates a legacy authorization with the InfluxDB 1.x compatibility API.
Usage
influx v1 auth create [flags]
Flags
| Flag | Description | Input type | Maps to ? | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
-c | --active-config | Config name to use for command | string | INFLUX_ACTIVE_CONFIG |
--configs-path | Path to the influx CLI configurations (default: ~/.influxdbv2/configs) | string | INFLUX_CONFIGS_PATH | |
-d | --description | Token description | string | |
-h | --help | Help for the create command | ||
--hide-headers | Hide the table headers (default: false) | INFLUX_HIDE_HEADERS | ||
--host | HTTP address of InfluxDB | string | INFLUX_HOST | |
--json | Output data as JSON (default: false) | INFLUX_OUTPUT_JSON | ||
--no-password | Don’t prompt for a password (to use the token, you must set a password with influx v1 auth set-password) | |||
-o | --org | Organization name (mutually exclusive with --org-id) | string | INFLUX_ORG |
--org-id | Organization ID (mutually exclusive with --org) | string | INFLUX_ORG_ID | |
--password | Password to set on the authorization | |||
--read-bucket | Bucket ID to assign read permissions to | stringArray | ||
--skip-verify | Skip TLS certificate verification | INFLUX_SKIP_VERIFY | ||

Examples
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 v1 authorization with read and write permissions
# Create an authorization with read and write access to bucket 00xX00o0X001
# but only read access to bucket 00xX00o0X002
influx v1 auth create \
--read-bucket 00xX00o0X001 \
--read-bucket 00xX00o0X002 \
--write-bucket 00xX00o0X001 \
--username example-user
