Add a member

This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB OSS. InfluxDB 3 Core is the latest stable version.

API token hashing is enabled by default in InfluxDB OSS 2.9.0

Stronger token security: tokens are stored as hashes on disk, so a copy of the database file doesn’t expose usable tokens. Existing tokens are hashed on first startup and the original strings can’t be recovered afterward — capture any plaintext tokens you still need before you upgrade.

For more information, see Token hashing.

Use the influx command line interface (CLI) to add a member to an organization and optionally make that member an owner across all organizations.

Add a member to an organization using the influx CLI

  1. Get a list of users and their IDs by running the following:

    influx user list

  2. To add a user as a member of an organization, use the influx org members add command. Provide the following:

    • Organization name
    • User ID
    • (Optional) --owner flag to add the user as an owner (requires an operator token)

    Add member Add owner

    influx org members add \
  -n <org-name> \
  -m <user-ID>
    influx org members add \
  -n <org-name> \
  -m <user-ID> \
  --owner

For more information, see the influx org members add command.
