influxdb3 create token
The influxdb3 create token command creates a new authentication token. This returns the raw token string. Use it to authenticate future CLI commands and API requests.
InfluxDB displays the raw token string only once. Be sure to copy and securely store it.
Usage
influxdb3 create token <SUBCOMMAND>
Commands
| Command | Description | |
|---|---|---|
--admin | Create an admin token for the InfluxDB 3 Enterprise server. | |
--permission | Create a resource token with fine-grained access permissions. |
Options
| Option | Description | |
|---|---|---|
--admin | Create an admin token | |

Examples
Create an admin token
influxdb3 create token --admin
The output is the raw token string you can use to authenticate future CLI commands and API requests.
For CLI commands, use the --token option or the INFLUXDB3_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable to pass the token string.
Use the token to create a database
influxdb3 create database \
--token ADMIN_TOKEN \
DATABASE_NAME
Replace the following:
ADMIN_TOKEN: Your InfluxDB admin tokenDATABASE_NAME: Name for your new database
Set the token as an environment variable to simplify repeated CLI commands:
export INFLUXDB3_AUTH_TOKEN=YOUR_ADMIN_TOKEN
