Create User in InfluxDB v2 with role owner or assign role to a user later

InfluxDB 2

Hello @solick,
Welcome!
You can use:

Specifically, you can create a users with all access permissions and assign to an org with:

influx auth create --all-access -u <userNeedingPermission> -o <theorg>

This makes you an owner without the owner title.

In order to make a user an “official” owner you need to use the REST API:
First you need to remove the user as a member:

curl --request DELETE "http://localhost:8086/api/v2/orgs/8d754bea5df1c15d/members/097fbd1417fc7000" --header 'Authorization: Token INFLUX_TOKEN'

Then you can make the user an owner:

curl --request POST "http://localhost:8086/api/v2/orgs/8d754bea5df1c15d/owners" --header 'Authorization: Token INFLUX_TOKEN' \
--data '{"id": "097fbd1417fc7000", "name": "johndoe"}'

{
	"role": "owner",
	"links": {
		"self": "/api/v2/users/097fbd1417fc7000"
	},
	"id": "097fbd1417fc7000",
	"name": "johndoe",
	"status": "active"
}

Similarly you can remove an owner from an org with the API and then create a new user:

Sooooo YES you’re entirely right. This is not a good UX. I’m working on hunting down some issues related to your question but I also encourage you to comment on this
