Team access API reference

Note: Team management is available in HCP Terraform Standard Edition. Learn more about HCP Terraform pricing here.

The team access APIs are used to associate a team to permissions on a workspace. A single team-workspace resource contains the relationship between the Team and Workspace, including the privileges the team has on the workspace.

Resource permissions

A team-workspace resource represents a team's local permissions on a specific workspace. Teams can also have organization-level permissions that grant access to workspaces. HCP Terraform uses the more restrictive access level. For example, a team with the Manage workspaces permission enabled has admin access on all workspaces, even if their team-workspace on a particular workspace only grants read access. For more information, refer to Managing Workspace Access.

Any member of an organization can view team access relative to their own team memberships, including secret teams of which they are a member. Organization owners and workspace admins can modify team access or view the full set of secret team accesses. The organization token and the owners team token can act as an owner on these endpoints. Refer to Permissions for additional information.

List Team Access to a Workspace

Status	Response	Reason
200	JSON API document (`type: "team-workspaces"`)	The request was successful
404	JSON API error object	Workspace not found or user unauthorized to perform action

Query Parameters

These are standard URL query parameters; remember to percent-encode [ as %5B and ] as %5D if your tooling doesn't automatically encode URLs.

This endpoint supports pagination with standard URL query parameters. If neither pagination query parameters are provided, the endpoint will not be paginated and will return all results.

Parameter	Description
`filter[workspace][id]`	Required. The workspace ID to list team access for. Obtain this from the workspace settings or the Show Workspace endpoint.
`page[number]`	Optional.
`page[size]`	Optional.

Show a Team Access relationship

GET /team-workspaces/:id

Status	Response	Reason
200	JSON API document (`type: "team-workspaces"`)	The request was successful
404	JSON API error object	Team access not found or user unauthorized to perform action

Parameter	Description
`:id`	The ID of the team/workspace relationship. Obtain this from the list team access action described above.

Note: As mentioned in Add Team Access to a Workspace and Update Team Access to a Workspace, several permission attributes are not editable unless access is set to custom. When access is read, plan, write, or admin, these attributes are read-only and reflect the implicit permissions granted to the current access level.
