Project Team Access API

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

Note: A team-project resource represents a team's local permissions on a specific project. Teams can also have organization-level permissions that grant access to projects, and HCP Terraform uses whichever access level is higher. (For example: a team with the "manage projects" permission has admin access on all projects, even if their team-project on a particular project only grants read access.) For more information, see Managing Project 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 project 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. (More about permissions.)

Project Team Access Levels

Access Level	Description
`read`	Read project and Read workspace access role on project workspaces
`write`	Read project and Write workspace access role on project workspaces
`maintain`	Read project and Admin workspace access role on project workspaces
`admin`	Admin project, Admin workspace access role on project workspaces, create workspaces within project, move workspaces between projects, manage project team access
`custom`	Custom access permissions on project and project's workspaces

List Team Access to a Project

GET /team-projects

Status	Response	Reason
200	JSON API document (`type: "team-projects"`)	The request was successful
404	JSON API error object	Project 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.

Parameter	Description
`filter[project][id]`	Required. The project ID to list team access for.
`page[number]`	Optional.
`page[size]`	Optional.

Show a Team Access relationship

GET /team-projects/:id

Status	Response	Reason
200	JSON API document (`type: "team-projects"`)	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/project relationship. Obtain this from the list team access action described above.

As mentioned in Add Team Access to a Project and Update to a Project, several permission attributes are not editable unless you set access to custom. If you set access to read, plan, write, or admin, certain attributes are read-only and reflect the implicit permissions granted to the current access level.

For example, if you set access to read, the implicit permission level for project settings and workspace run is "read". Conversely, if you set the access level to admin, the implicit permission level for the project settings is "delete", while the workspace runs permission is "apply".

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.

For example, when access is read, the implicit level for the project settings and workspace runs permissions are "read". Conversely, when the access level is admin, the implicit level for the project settings is "delete" and the workspace runs permission is "apply". To see all of the implied permissions at different access levels, see Implied Custom Permission Levels.

Implied Custom Permission Levels

As mentioned above, when setting team access levels (read, write, maintain, or admin), you can individually set the following permissions if you use the custom access level. The below table lists each access level alongside its implicit custom permission level. If you use the custom access level and do not specify a certain permission's level, that permission uses the default value listed below.

Permissions	`read`	`write`	`maintain`	`admin`	`custom` default
project-access.settings	"read"	"read"	"read"	"delete"	"read"
project-access.teams	"none"	"none"	"none"	"manage"	"none"
workspace-access.runs	"read"	"apply"	"apply"	"apply"	"read"
workspace-access.sentinel-mocks	"none"	"read"	"read"	"read"	"none"
workspace-access.state-versions	"read"	"write"	"write"	"write"	"none"
