Summary

Terraform now supports multiple team tokens, allowing teams in HashiCorp's HCP Terraform to generate distinct API tokens for better access control and collaboration within Terraform environments. This enhancement simplifies permissions management and enables the least privilege principle in infrastructure workflows. Previously, only a single team API token per team was allowed, which presented challenges in terms of security, access control, and auditing. With multiple team tokens available, organizations can create granular access to projects and workspaces, reducing operational risk when users leave the organization. This new capability is now generally available in HCP Terraform and coming soon to Terraform Enterprise.
