Verify Terraform configuration and team access

Verifying your Terraform deployment ensures all resources are created correctly and team members have appropriate access. Testing with actual user accounts confirms your RBAC and LBAC policies work as designed.

To verify your Terraform configuration, complete the following steps:

1. Check the Terraform state:

   sh Copy

   terraform show

2. Open an incognito browser window and navigate to your Grafana Cloud URL.

3. Click Sign in with OKTA (or your identity provider).

4. Sign in as a Finance team member. For example, sign in as frank.ford@example.com.

5. Verify the Finance team member sees:

   • The Finance dashboard as their home dashboard
   • Only the Finance folder in the dashboards list
   • Finance alert rules under Alerting > Alert rules
   • Limited data in the Web Site Latency by Data Center graph (only North Virginia due to LBAC)

6. Sign out and sign in as a Marketing team member. For example, sign in as mary.martin@example.com.

7. Verify the Marketing team member sees:

   • The Marketing dashboard as their home dashboard
   • Only the Marketing folder in the dashboards list
   • Marketing alert rules
   • The Reporting feature under Dashboards
   • The Kubernetes application in the menu (if you configured the RBAC role)

8. Sign out and sign in as an administrator.

9. Verify you can see:

   • All folders and dashboards
   • All data sources
   • All alert rules including the Billing Alerts folder
   • Complete data in all graphs (LBAC doesn’t apply to administrators)

Your Terraform configuration is successfully deployed and team access controls are working correctly.

In the next milestone, you’ll learn how to make configuration changes and redeploy using Terraform.
