Manage admin tokens

Manage InfluxDB 3 Enterprise admin tokens to authorize server actions, influxdb3 CLI commands, and HTTP API endpoints for your InfluxDB 3 Enterprise instance. Administrative (admin) tokens provide full system access and management capabilities for your InfluxDB 3 Enterprise instance.

Admin tokens can create, edit, and delete other admin tokens, as well as manage resource tokens.

InfluxDB 3 Enterprise supports two types of admin tokens:

  • Operator token: A system-generated administrative token with the name _admin.

    • Cannot be edited or deleted
    • Never expires
    • Cannot be recreated if lost (future functionality)
    • Can be regenerated using the CLI
  • Named admin token: User-defined administrative tokens with full admin permissions.

    • Can be created, edited, and deleted
    • Support expiration dates
    • Cannot modify or remove the operator token

An InfluxDB 3 Enterprise instance can have one operator token and unlimited named admin tokens.
