Manage users
Manage users and access to resources in your InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated cluster.
By assigning users to different groups based on the level of access they need, you can minimize unnecessary access and reduce the risk of inadvertent actions. User groups associate access privileges with user attributes–an important part of the Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) security model which grants access based on user attributes, resource types, and environment context.
Available user groups
In InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated, users have “management” responsibilities, such as creating and deleting databases, viewing resource information, and provisioning database tokens for reading and writing data.
A user can belong to the following groups, each with predefined privileges:
- Admin: Read and write permissions on all resources.
- Member: Read permission on certain resources and create permission for database tokens; members can’t delete or create databases or management tokens.
- Auditor: Read permission on all resources; auditors can’t modify resources.
Existing users are Admin by default
With the release of user groups for InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated, all existing users in your account are initially assigned to the Admin group, retaining full access to resources in your cluster.
User management methods
Choose the appropriate method for your user management needs:
Admin UI (Self-service)
Use the Admin UI for user management tasks (available to Admin users only):
- View users and invitations - View existing users, invite status, invite ID, and invitation date
- Invite new users - Send invitations with role assignment (Admin, Member, Auditor)
- Revoke pending invitations - Cancel invitations that haven’t been accepted
Role permissions
Auditor role users can view the invite list but cannot send or revoke invitations. Member role users cannot access the invite list.
For more information, see Manage users in the Admin UI.
Contact support (Advanced operations)
For operations not available in the Admin UI:
- View or change user roles after invitation acceptance
- Remove accepted users from your account
- Advanced user configurations
Manage users in the Admin UI
Use the InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated Admin UI to view users, send invitations, assign roles, and manage user access to your cluster. Learn how to invite new users, revoke invitations, and understand role-based permissions.
