Research direction

Start with the token page at https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/security/tokens/view-tokens/ and review the linked guidance for creating tokens with appropriate permissions. Done means the page explicitly explains that a 401 Unauthorized error indicates insufficient token permissions and links readers to create a suitable token.
