» Policy Sets API

Note: Sentinel policies are a paid feature, available as part of the Team & Governance upgrade package. Learn more about Terraform Cloud pricing here.

Sentinel Policy as Code is an embedded policy as code framework integrated with Terraform Cloud.

Policy sets are groups of policies that are applied together to related workspaces. By using policy sets, you can group your policies by attributes such as environment or region. Individual policies within a policy set will only be checked for workspaces that the policy set is attached to. Policy sets can group individual policies created via the policies API, or act as versioned sets which are either sourced from a version control system (such as GitHub) or uploaded as a whole via the policy set versions API.

This page documents the API endpoints to create, read, update, and delete policy sets in an organization. To view and manage policies, use the Policies API.

Interacting with policy sets requires permission to manage policies. (More about permissions.)

» Create a Policy Set

POST /organizations/:organization_name/policy-sets

Parameter	Description
`:organization_name`	The organization to create the policy set in. The organization must already exist in the system, and the token authenticating the API request must have permission to manage policies. (More about permissions.)

Status	Response	Reason
201	JSON API document (`type: "policy-sets"`)	Successfully created a policy set
404	JSON API error object	Organization not found, or user unauthorized to perform action
422	JSON API error object	Malformed request body (missing attributes, wrong types, etc.)

» Request Body

This POST endpoint requires a JSON object with the following properties as a request payload.

Properties without a default value are required.

Key path	Type	Default	Description
`data.type`	string		Must be `"policy-sets"`.
`data.attributes.name`	string		The name of the policy set. Can include letters, numbers, `-`, and `_`.
`data.attributes.description`	string	`null`	A description of the set's purpose. This field supports Markdown and will be rendered in the Terraform Cloud UI.
`data.attributes.global`	boolean	`false`	Whether or not this policies in this set should be checked on all of the organization's workspaces, or only on workspaces the policy set is attached to.
`data.attributes.vcs-repo`	object	`null`	VCS repository information. When present, the policies and configuration will be sourced from the specified VCS repository instead of being defined within Terraform Cloud. Note that this option and `policies` relationships are mutually exclusive and may not be used simultaneously.
`data.attributes.vcs-repo.branch`	string	`null`	The branch of the VCS repo. If empty, the VCS provider's default branch value will be used.
`data.attributes.vcs-repo.identifier`	string		The identifier of the VCS repository in the format `<namespace>/<repo>`. For example, on GitHub, this would be something like `hashicorp/my-policy-set`. The format for Azure DevOps is `<org>/<project>/_git/<repo>`.
`data.attributes.vcs-repo.oauth-token-id`	string		The OAuth Token ID to use to connect to the VCS host.
`data.attributes.vcs-repo.ingress-submodules`	boolean	`false`	Determines whether repository submodules will be instantiated during the clone operation.
`data.attributes.policies-path`	string	`null`	The subdirectory of the attached VCS repository that contains the policies for this policy set. Files and directories outside of this sub-path will be ignored, and changes to those unrelated files won't cause the policy set to be updated. This option may only be specified when a VCS repo is present.
`data.relationships.workspaces.data[]`	array[object]	`[]`	A list of resource identifier objects that defines which workspaces the new set will be attached to. These objects must contain `id` and `type` properties, and the `type` property must be `workspaces` (e.g. `{ "id": "ws-2HRvNs49EWPjDqT1", "type": "workspaces" }`). Obtain workspace IDs from the workspace settings or the Show Workspace endpoint. Individual workspaces cannot be attached to the policy set when `data.attributes.global` is `true`.
`data.relationships.policies.data[]`	array[object]	`[]`	DEPRECATED. A list of resource identifier objects that defines which policies will be members of the new set. These objects must contain `id` and `type` properties, and the `type` property must be `policies` (e.g. `{ "id": "pol-u3S5p2Uwk21keu1s", "type": "policies" }`). Important: This deprecated option will be removed in the future in favor of VCS policy sets.

» Upload Policy Set Versions

PUT https://archivist.terraform.io/v1/object/<UNIQUE OBJECT ID>

The URL is provided in the upload attribute in the policy-set-versions resource.

» Sample Request

In the example below, policy-set.tar.gz is the local filename of the policy set version file to upload.

curl \
  --header "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" \
  --request PUT \
  --data-binary @policy-set.tar.gz \

» Relationships

The following relationships may be present in various responses for policy sets:

current-version: The most recent successful policy set version.
newest-version: The most recently created policy set version, regardless of status. Note that this relationship may include an errored and unusable version, and is intended to allow checking for VCS errors.
organization: The organization associated with the specified policy set.
policies: Individually managed policies which are associated with the policy set.
workspaces: The workspaces to which the policy set applies.

The following relationships may be present in various responses for policy set versions:

policy-set: The policy set associated with the specified policy set version.
