Global Variables allow you to define and apply variables one time across all workspaces within an organization. For example, you could define a global variable of provider credentials and automatically apply it to all workspaces.
Workspace variables have priority over global variables if the same name is used.
Only users that belongs to Terrakube administrator group can create global variables. This group is defined in the terrakube settings during deployment, for more details see
Once you are in the desired organization, click the Settings button, then in the left menu select the Global Variables option and click the Add global variable button
In the popup, provide the required values. Use the below table as reference:
Finally click the Save global variable button and the variable will be created
You will see the new global variable in the list. And now the variable will be injected in all the workspaces within the organization
Click the Edit button next to the global variable you want to edit.
