Account API
Account represents the current user interacting with Terraform. It returns the same type of object as theUsers API, but also includes an email address, which is hidden when viewing info about other users.
For internal reasons, HCP Terraform associates team and organization tokens with a synthetic user account calledservice user. HCP Terraform returns the associated service user for account requests authenticated by a team or organization token. Use theauthenticated-resource relationship to access the underlying team or organization associated with a token. For user tokens, you can use the user, itself.
