Policy Set Parameters API
Note: Sentinel and OPA policies available in the Terraform Cloud Team & Governance tier.
Sentinel parameters are a list of key/value pairs that Terraform Cloud sends to the Sentinel runtime when performing policy checks on workspaces. They can help you avoid hardcoding sensitive parameters into a policy.
Parameters are only available for Sentinel policies. This set of APIs provides endpoints to create, update, list and delete parameters.
