Are you talking of a Terraform CLI workspace? Or is this TFE/TFC?

If you’ve created one workspace in TFC, you do the same to create more.


You can programatically create workspaces with the API endpoint as well… https://www.terraform.io/docs/cloud/api/workspaces.html#create-a-workspace

Your question is pretty vague - if you can expand on exactly what you’re trying to do, might be able to help.

ok so this is my workspace.tf I have one name hardcoded which pre exists in the AD, i have added more names in the AD but I dont want to create another workspace.tf, how can I add multiple users?

resource “aws_workspaces_workspace” “uazad” {
directory_id = “{aws_directory_service_directory.tap-adconnector.id}" bundle_id = "{data.aws_workspaces_bundle.value_windows_10.id}”
user_name = “urfanazad”

root_volume_encryption_enabled = true
user_volume_encryption_enabled = true
volume_encryption_key = “alias/aws/workspaces”

workspace_properties {
compute_type_name = “VALUE”
user_volume_size_gib = 10
root_volume_size_gib = 80
running_mode = “AUTO_STOP”
running_mode_auto_stop_timeout_in_minutes = 60
}

You’ll want to populate a list and then have TF iterate thru it with for_each

Here’s a random example of for_each

I have a similar question. I have my code tuned up to create a workspace. But I have to create at least 16 for 16 different users. Can anyone help me accomplish this?
