terrateam gate approve

When a workflow step with gate configuration fails (such as security scanning, policy checks, or custom validation), Terrateam creates an approval request that authorized users can approve to continue the workflow.

Usage

terrateam gate approve <token>

Parameters

• <token> - The unique token identifier for the gate request (provided in the gate failure message)

Related Commands

• terrateam apply-force - Force an apply without meeting apply requirements
• terrateam apply-autoapprove - Skip approvals entirely

Security Considerations

Caution

Gate approvals bypass failed validation checks. Ensure only trusted users have approval permissions and maintain an audit trail of all approvals.

• Limit gate approval permissions to appropriate teams
• Use descriptive tokens to identify what’s being approved
• Consider requiring multiple approvers for critical workflows
