Account API

Account represents the current user interacting with Terraform. It returns the same type of object as the Users API, but also includes an email address, which is hidden when viewing info about other users.

For internal reasons, HCP Terraform associates team and organization tokens with a synthetic user account called service user. HCP Terraform returns the associated service user for account requests authenticated by a team or organization token. Use the authenticated-resource relationship to access the underlying team or organization associated with a token. For user tokens, you can use the user, itself.
