# View users

This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB OSS. [InfluxDB 3 Core](/influxdb3/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](/influxdb/v2/admin/tokens/#token-hashing).

Use the `influx` command line interface (CLI) to view users.

## View users using the influx CLI

Use the [`influx user list` command](/influxdb/v2/reference/cli/influx/user/list) to view users. Provide the following:

-   An [operator token](/influxdb/v2/admin/tokens/#operator-token) using your [`influx` CLI connection configuration](/influxdb/v2/reference/cli/influx/#provide-required-authentication-credentials), `INFLUX_TOKEN` environment variable, or the `--token, -t` flag.

```sh
influx user list
```

Filtering options such as filtering by username or ID are available. See the [`influx user list` documentation](/influxdb/v2/reference/cli/influx/user/list) for information about other available flags.
