Manage users in your InfluxDB cluster

Manage users with administrative access to your InfluxDB cluster through your identity provider and your InfluxDB AppInstance resource. Administrative access lets users perform actions like creating databases and tokens.

Users versus database tokens

All users have administrative access to your cluster and can perform administrative actions in your InfluxDB cluster. Database tokens authorize read and write access to databases in your InfluxDB cluster. A person or client doesn’t need to be a user to read and write data in your cluster, but they must have a database token.
