# Administer InfluxDB Clustered

The following articles provide information about managing your InfluxDB Clustered resources:

### [Identify InfluxDB Clustered version](/influxdb3/clustered/admin/identify-version/)

Learn how to identify your InfluxDB Clustered version using influxctl CLI and other methods.

### [Manage your InfluxDB Clustered license](/influxdb3/clustered/admin/licensing/)

Install and manage your InfluxDB Clustered license to authorize the use of the InfluxDB Clustered software.

### [Manage users in your InfluxDB cluster](/influxdb3/clustered/admin/users/)

Manage users with administrative access to your InfluxDB cluster through your identity provider and your InfluxDB `AppInstance` resource.

### [Manage databases](/influxdb3/clustered/admin/databases/)

Manage databases in your InfluxDB cluster. A database is a named location where time series data is stored. Each InfluxDB database has a retention period, which defines the maximum age of data stored in the database.

### [Manage tables](/influxdb3/clustered/admin/tables/)

Manage tables in your InfluxDB cluster. A table is a collection of related data stored in table format. In previous versions of InfluxDB, tables were known as “measurements.”

### [Manage tokens](/influxdb3/clustered/admin/tokens/)

Manage database tokens in your InfluxDB cluster. Database tokens grant read and write permissions to one or more databases and allow for actions like writing and querying data.

### [Manage data partitioning](/influxdb3/clustered/admin/custom-partitions/)

Customize your partitioning strategy to optimize query performance for your specific schema and workload.

### [Back up and restore your cluster](/influxdb3/clustered/admin/backup-restore/)

Use InfluxDB Clustered Catalog snapshots to keep necessary data in object storage and restore to a recovery point in case of emergency.

### [Query system data](/influxdb3/clustered/admin/query-system-data/)

Query system tables in your InfluxDB cluster to see data related to queries, tables, partitions, and compaction in your cluster.

### [Upgrade InfluxDB Clustered](/influxdb3/clustered/admin/upgrade/)

Use Kubernetes to upgrade your InfluxDB Clustered version.

### [Scale your InfluxDB cluster](/influxdb3/clustered/admin/scale-cluster/)

InfluxDB Clustered lets you scale individual components of your cluster both vertically and horizontally to match your specific workload.

### [Manage environment variables in your InfluxDB Cluster](/influxdb3/clustered/admin/env-vars/)

Use environment variables to define settings for individual components in your InfluxDB cluster.

### [Bypass your identity provider](/influxdb3/clustered/admin/bypass-identity-provider/)

InfluxDB clustered generates a valid access token (known as the *admin token*) that can be used in development and testing environments in lieu of configuring and using an OAuth2 identity provider.
