By default, authentication is disabled, all users can use InfluxDB with privileges. So enable authentication first.
# create an admin user
# [admin] ⇒ specify any username you like
# [adminpassword] ⇒ set any password

[root@dlp ~]#
influx -execute "create user admin with password 'adminpassword' with all privileges"

[root@dlp ~]#
influx -execute "show users"

user  admin
----  -----
admin true

[root@dlp ~]#
vi /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf
[http]
  ....
  ....

  # The bind address used by the HTTP service.
  # bind-address = ":8086"

  # Determines whether user authentication is enabled over HTTP/HTTPS.
  # line 263 : uncomment and change
  auth-enabled = true

[root@dlp ~]#
systemctl restart influxdb
[4] After enabling authentication, access InfluxDB CLI like follows.
# add user info on CLI

[root@dlp ~]#
influx -username admin -password adminpassword

Connected to http://localhost:8086 version 1.8.10
InfluxDB shell version: 1.8.10
> exit

# set user info on environment variables

[root@dlp ~]#
export INFLUX_USERNAME=admin

[root@dlp ~]#
export INFLUX_PASSWORD=adminpassword

[root@dlp ~]#
influx
