Learn how to create, view, update, or delete an API token.

Operator token

Grants full read and write access to all resources in all organizations in InfluxDB OSS 2.x.

Operator tokens are created in the InfluxDB setup process and cannot be created manually. Because Operator tokens have full read and write access to all organizations in the database, we recommend for each organization and using those to manage InfluxDB. This helps to prevent accidental interactions across organizations.
