## Examples

#### Authentication credentials

The examples below assume your InfluxDB **host**, **organization**, and **token** are
provided by either the [active `influx` CLI configuration](/influxdb/cloud/reference/cli/influx/#provide-required-authentication-credentials) 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](/influxdb/cloud/reference/urls/)
* `-o, --org` or `--org-id`: InfluxDB organization name or ID
* `-t, --token`: InfluxDB API token

* [List all users](#list-all-users)
* [List a specific user by username](#list-a-specific-user-by-username)
* [List a specific user by ID](#list-a-specific-user-by-id)

##### List all users

```sh
influx user list
```

##### List a specific user by username

```sh
influx user list --name example-username
```

##### List a specific user by ID

```sh
influx user list --id 0Xx0oox00XXoxxoo1
```
