Description

Hi,
I have a influxDB2.1 (InfluxDB 2.1.1Server: 657e183Frontend: cc65325) and the latest influxCLI 2.2.1. When I create a user with the CLI I get 'write:users is unauthorized' despite using a config with root permissions.

influx user create --name username --password 5ZZ3jTTSmIIr8r5l --org Hexagram
Error: failed to create user "username": 401 Unauthorized: write:users is unauthorized

What can I do? Any other way to create a user?

Best,
Stan

Research direction

The report names influx user create and InfluxDB 2.1.1 with influx-cli 2.2.1, but no repository file or test. Start by reproducing that command with those versions and tracing the user-creation CLI path and permission handling; done means determining whether the CLI or server rejects the request and documenting or fixing the confirmed cause.
