The full documentation and examples are available here.

To provide a small guide to where to start:

  1. Create a folder where all the terraform files reside.
  2. Configure the provider to use the right domain, port and token, with for example a main.tffile as shown in the example.
  3. Add a zitadel_org resource to the main.tf file, to create and manage a new organization in the instance, as shown in the example.
  4. Add any resources to the organization in the main.tf file, as example a human user.
  5. (Optional) Use Terraform in the directory with the command terraform plan, to see which resources would be created and how.
  6. Apply the changes and start managing your resources with terraform with terraform apply.
  7. (Optional) Delete your created resources with terraform destroy to clean-up.
