force_unlock_workspace
Force unlock a Terraform Cloud workspace when normal unlocking fails or is unavailable. Requires admin privileges. Use with caution 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.
