Remove a user with administrative access from your InfluxDB cluster:

  1. Remove or deactivate the user in your identity provider.

    Refer to your identity provider's documentation for information about removing users:

  2. Remove the user from your InfluxDB AppInstance resource. You can edit your AppInstance resource directly in your myinfluxdb.yml, or, if you're using the InfluxDB Clustered Helm chart, you can remove users from your values.yaml to modify your AppInstance resource.

    {{< tabs-wrapper >}} {{% tabs %}} AppInstance Helm {{% /tabs %}}

{{% tab-content %}}

<!----------------------------- BEGIN AppInstance ----------------------------->

If editing your AppInstance resource directly, remove the user from the list of users in the spec.package.spec.admin.users field in your myinfluxdb.yml configuration file--for example:

diff
apiVersion: kubecfg.dev/v1alpha1
kind: AppInstance
# ...
spec:
  package:
    spec:
      admin:
        # ...
        users:
        - id: XXooXoXXooXXXoo1
          firstName: Marty
          lastName: McFly
          email: [email protected]
-       - id: XXooXoXXooXXXoo2
-         firstName: John
-         lastName: Doe
-         email: [email protected]
<!------------------------------ END AppInstance ------------------------------>

{{% /tab-content %}} {{% tab-content %}}

<!--------------------------------- BEGIN Helm -------------------------------->

If using the InfluxDB Clustered Helm chart, remove the user from the list of users in the admin.users field in your in your values.yaml--for example:

diff
admin:
  # ...
  users:
    - id: XXooXoXXooXXXoo1
      firstName: Marty
      lastName: McFly
      email: [email protected]
-   - id: XXooXoXXooXXXoo2
-     firstName: John
-     lastName: Doe
-     email: [email protected]
<!---------------------------------- END Helm --------------------------------->

{{% /tab-content %}} {{< /tabs-wrapper >}}

  1. Apply the change to your InfluxDB cluster.

    • If updating the AppInstance resource directly, use kubectl to apply the change.
    • If using the InfluxDB Clustered Helm chart, use helm to apply the change.

{{< code-tabs-wrapper >}} {{% code-tabs %}} kubectl Helm {{% /code-tabs %}} {{% code-tab-content %}}

<!--pytest.mark.skip-->
bash
kubectl apply \
  --filename myinfluxdb.yml \
  --namespace influxdb

{{% /code-tab-content %}} {{% code-tab-content %}}

<!--pytest.mark.skip-->
bash
helm upgrade \
  influxdb \
  influxdata/influxdb3-clustered \
  -f ./values.yaml \
  --namespace influxdb

{{% /code-tab-content %}} {{< /code-tabs-wrapper >}}

[!Note] After you complete step 1 above, the removed user no longer has administrative access to your InfluxDB cluster. However, you should still remove them from your AppInstance resource.
