The `influxctl management` command and its subcommands manage management tokens
in an InfluxDB cluster.

Management tokens allow the user to perform administrative tasks on the
InfluxDB instance. This includes creating and deleting databases, managing
users, and other administrative tasks.

Management tokens do not provide access to databases or data in databases.
Only *database tokens* with “read” or “write” permissions can access data in
databases.

## Usage

```sh
influxctl management [subcommand] [flags]
```
