* influx CLI 2.0.0+
* InfluxDB OSS only
* Updated in CLI v2.4.0

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).

The `influx org members add` command adds a member to an organization in InfluxDB.

## Usage

```
influx org members add [flags]
```

## Examples

#### Authentication credentials

The examples below assume your InfluxDB **host**, **organization**, and **token** are
provided by either the [active `influx` CLI configuration](/influxdb/v2/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/v2/reference/urls/)
* `-o, --org` or `--org-id`: InfluxDB organization name or ID
* `-t, --token`: InfluxDB API token

##### Add a member to an organization

```sh
influx org members add \
  --member 00x0oo0X0xxxo000 \
  --name example-org
```

##### Add a member to an organization and make them an owner

```sh
influx org members add \
  --member 00x0oo0X0xxxo000 \
  --name example-org \
  --owner
```
