InfluxDB is a time-series database designed to handle high write and query loads. It is optimized for fast, high-availability storage and retrieval of time series data in fields such as operations monitoring, application metrics, IoT sensor data, and real-time analytics.
When working with InfluxDB, you might encounter the error message ERR: invalid privilege. This error typically appears when attempting to assign a privilege to a user or role that InfluxDB does not recognize or support.
The error ERR: invalid privilege occurs when the privilege specified in a command is not valid. InfluxDB supports specific privileges such as READ, WRITE, and ALL. Any deviation from these supported privileges will result in this error.
To resolve the ERR: invalid privilege error, follow these steps:
Ensure that the privilege you are trying to assign is one of the supported types. The supported privileges in InfluxDB are:
READ: Allows reading data from the database.WRITE: Allows writing data to the database.ALL: Grants both read and write permissions.Review the command you are using to assign privileges. Ensure that the privilege is correctly spelled and is one of the supported types. For example:
GRANT READ ON my_database TO my_user;
If you are unsure about the privileges, refer to the official InfluxDB Authorization and Authentication documentation for detailed information on supported privileges.
After correcting the command, execute it again to ensure that the error is resolved. If the error persists, double-check the syntax and the user or role names involved.
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the ERR: invalid privilege error in InfluxDB. Always ensure that you are using the correct and supported privileges to avoid such issues. For more information, you can visit the InfluxDB Documentation.
