Hello, I have a problem creating auth for new user.

Command line:

$ influx auth create -d test --user grafana --read-orgs
Error: could not write auth with provided arguments: 400 Bad Request: invalid json structure: id must have a length of 16 bytes

influxdb logs:

Hello @apl,
Have you set up an InfluxDB CLI configuration already?

And what type of token did you use to create it? You have to use the UI to create an all-access token that enables you to create a CLI config that has permissions to create new tokens.

@apl if you were running with v2.1.0 of the influx CLI, there was a bug in auth create that caused empty resource IDs to incorrectly be sent in requests. It’s been fixed as of v2.1.1 of the CLI.

./influx auth create --org my_org_name --all-access
Error: could not write auth with provided arguments: 403 Forbidden: permission read:orgs/2d8226e2e09XXXX/instance is not allowed: read:orgs/2d8226e2e0929XXXX/instance is unauthorized

I am getting this while creating the token, need it so that I can use the influx config create further

Hello @Aakarshit_Agarwal,
Welcome!
To get your first token, you either have to setup through the UI or through the CLI.
