force_unlock_workspace

Force unlock a Terraform Cloud workspace when normal unlocking fails, such as due to orphaned locks or unavailable users. Requires admin privileges and careful use to avoid disrupting active operations.

Instructions

Force unlock a workspace. This should be used with caution.

Forces a workspace to unlock even when the normal unlock process isn't possible.
This is typically needed when a run has orphaned a lock or when the user who locked
the workspace is unavailable. This operation requires admin privileges on the workspace.

WARNING: Forcing an unlock can be dangerous if the workspace is legitimately locked
for active operations. Only use this when you are certain it's safe to unlock.
