openapi: 3.0.0 info: title: Complete InfluxDB Cloud Authorizations (API tokens) Authorizations (API tokens) Variables API description: 'Create and manage authorizations (API tokens). An _authorization_ contains a list of `read` and `write` permissions for organization resources and provides an API token for authentication. An authorization belongs to an organization and only contains permissions for that organization. We recommend the following for managing your tokens: - Create a generic user to create and manage tokens for writing data. - Store your tokens in a secure password vault for future access. ### User sessions with authorizations Optionally, when creating an authorization, you can scope it to a specific user. If the user signs in with username and password, creating a _user session_, the session carries the permissions granted by all the user''s authorizations. For more information, see [how to assign a token to a specific user](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/security/tokens/create-token/). To create a user session, use the [`POST /api/v2/signin` endpoint](#operation/PostSignin). ### Related endpoints - [Signin](#tag/Signin) - [Signout](#tag/Signout) ### Related guides - [Authorize API requests](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/api-guide/api_intro/#authentication) - [Manage API tokens](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/security/tokens/) - [Assign a token to a specific user](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/security/tokens/create-token/) ' servers: - url: '' security: - TokenAuthentication: [] tags: - name: Variables paths: /api/v2/variables: get: operationId: GetVariables parameters: - $ref: '#/components/parameters/TraceSpan' - description: The name of the organization. in: query name: org schema: type: string - description: The organization ID. in: query name: orgID schema: type: string responses: '200': content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/Variables' description: A list of variables for an organization.
