Machine user for Terraform

[thevops]

Hello all 👋

I use Terraform provider for New Relic. Currently, Terraform uses my user (my API key) to operate in New Relic.
I think it's not good solution due to several reasons, for example:

• my user it not an admin, so I can't manage other users
• other people in project also use that Terraform code with my user (security issue)

Adding a separate user for Terraform requires a new license (more costs).

What approach should be used in that case? How do you manage this?
