Hi,
I am quite new to InfluxDB, but I could not find any reference to my problem in 
the docs.

Some context first, I am setting up an ansible playbook to install influxdb 
with authentication and authorization.
As I understood it, this implies I need to create a user.


So in my playbook i have this:
- name: Create useer 
  command: influx -ssl -unsafeSsl -execute 'CREATE USER "test" WITH PASSWORD 
'secret''

But that fails with this error:
"ERR: error parsing query: found secret, expected string at line 1, char 36", 
"Warning: It is possible this error is due to not setting a database.", "Please 
set a database with the command \"use <database>\"."

The same thing happens if I do it on the command line"
$ influx  -execute 'CREATE USER "test2" WITH PASSWORD 'secret''
ERR: error parsing query: found secret, expected string at line 1, char 35
Warning: It is possible this error is due to not setting a database.
Please set a database with the command "use <database>".
error parsing query: found secret, expected string at line 1, char 35

But the same query succeeds if doit interactively:
$ influx

InfluxDB shell version: v1.0.2
> show users
user    admin
test    false
test1   false

> CREATE USER "test3" WITH PASSWORD 'secret'
>
> show users
user    admin
test    false
test1   false
test3   false


Am I doing something wrong?
Any help  or pointer to solutions is much appreciated.

Thanks.



Giacomo
