title: Using Unleash through Terraform
description: "Set up and configure your Unleash instance using infastructure as code."
---
:::note Availability
**Version**: `5.6+`
:::
## Overview
The [Unleash Terraform provider](https://github.com/Unleash/terraform-provider-unleash) enables you to manage and configure Unleash programmatically, leveraging infrastructure as code (IaC) for automated and scalable configuration.
This provider is designed to help you with the **initial setup and configuration** of an instance. The provider does not support managing feature flags through Terraform. Since most [feature flags are short-lived](/topics/feature-flags/feature-flag-best-practices#3-make-flags-short-lived), we recommend managing them through the Unleash Admin UI.
For a detailed video tutorial, check out [Managing Unleash through Terraform](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4OIBC1u1ns).
For more examples of specific resources and data sources, visit the [Terraform registry](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/Unleash/unleash/latest/docs/data-sources/permission).
## Manage Terraform access
The permissions of the API token you use with Terraform and your Unleash [plan](https://www.getunleash.io/pricing) determine which objects Terraform can manage:
- For [Open Source](https://www.getunleash.io/pricing) and [Pro](../availability#plans), use [personal access tokens](/reference/api-tokens-and-client-keys#personal-access-tokens).
- For [Enterprise](https://www.getunleash.io/pricing), use [service accounts](/reference/service-accounts). For larger teams, we recommend multiple service accounts with different permissions and separate Terraform repositories for each team under their respective projects.
## Resources
### API tokens
- `unleash_api_token`: Manage access and maintain secure communication with verified integrations.
Example usage:
```hcl
resource "unleash_api_token" "client_token" {
token_name = "client_token"
type = "client"
expires_at = "2024-12-31T23:59:59Z"
project = "default"
environment = "development"
}
```
### Projects
- `unleash_project`: Create and manage projects.
- `unleash_project_access`: Assign access roles and users to specific project resources.
### Users and roles
- `unleash_role`: Define permissions systematically.
- `unleash_user`: Automate user management. Use `send_email = true` to generate an invitation link.
### Service accounts
- `unleash_service_account`: Define and manage service accounts for secure automated access.
- `unleash_service_account_token`: Generate tokens associated with service accounts.
### Single sign-on protocols
- `unleash_oidc`: Manage your [OpenID Connect configuration](../how-to/how-to-add-sso-open-id-connect).
- `unleash_saml`: Manage your [SAML configuration](../how-to/sso).
For example usage and schemas, visit the resources documentation of the [Unleash Terraform provider](https://github.com/Unleash/terraform-provider-unleash/tree/main/docs/resources).
## Data sources
You can use the following data sources to fetch resources from Unleash:
- `unleash_project`
- `unleash_user`
- `unleash_role`
- `unleash_permission`
For example usage and schemas, visit the data sources documentation of the [Unleash Terraform provider](https://github.com/Unleash/terraform-provider-unleash/tree/main/docs/data-sources).
