Manage resource tokens
Manage resource tokens in your InfluxDB 3 Enterprise instance. Resource tokens grant fine-grained permissions on resources, such as databases and system information endpoints in your InfluxDB 3 Enterprise instance.
Databases: Database tokens allow for actions like writing and querying data.
System resources: System information tokens allow read access to server runtime statistics and health. Access controls for system information API endpoints help prevent information leaks and attacks (such as DoS).
Create a resource token
Use the influxdb3 create token --permission command or the HTTP API to create fine-grained permissions tokens that grant access to resources such as databases and system information. Database tokens allow for reading and writing data in your InfluxDB 3 Enterprise instance. System tokens allow for reading system information and metrics for your server.
CLI
influxdb3 create token --permission \
--token ADMIN_TOKEN \
--expiry 1y \
--name "Read-write on DATABASE1, DATABASE2" \
db:DATABASE1,DATABASE2:read,write
HTTP API
"http://localhost:8181/api/v3/enterprise/configure/token" \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header "Authorization: Bearer ADMIN_TOKEN" \
--data '{
"token_name": "Read-write for DATABASE1, DATABASE2",
"permissions": [{
"resource_type": "db",
"resource_identifier": ["DATABASE1","DATABASE2"],
"actions": ["read","write"]
}],
"expiry_secs": 300000
}'
List resource tokens
Use the influxdb3 show tokens command to list resource tokens in your InfluxDB 3 Enterprise instance.
CLI
influxdb3 show tokens \
--token ADMIN_TOKEN
--host http://localhost:8181
