# sdm terraform

```shell
NAME:
   sdm terraform - execute terraform with the current logged in session

USAGE:
   sdm terraform [terraform arguments]

DESCRIPTION:
   This command executes 'terraform' with any provided arguments, using the
   current logged in session to authenticate within terraform to strongdm.
   It does this by overriding SDM_API_ACCESS_KEY and SDM_API_SECRET_KEY.
   This command will not succeed if terraform is not found in the PATH or
   if there is no active logged in session to use. This command does not 
   check that the logged in user has permission to successfully interact 
   with terraform. This command cannot be combined with 'sdm aws terraform'.
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.strongdm.com/references/cli/terraform.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
