Your organization uses Terraform Cloud as the remote backend for all configurations. The networking team's configuration has outputs that the application team needs. The application team's workspace should be able to read these outputs, but should not be able to modify the networking team's state. What is the correct way to grant access?

Use a data source for each resource type to query the cloud provider API directly

Use a terraform_remote_state data source in the application workspace and grant the application team read access to the networking workspace's state

Grant the application team full access to the networking workspace

Copy the networking team's state file to the application team's workspace

What is the key characteristic of state files in a multi-workspace Terraform configuration?

State files are stored locally by default in Terraform Cloud

State files are automatically merged when workspaces are used

Each workspace has its own separate state file

All workspaces share a single state file

What is the primary reason to implement access controls on remote state?

To allow multiple users to edit the same state file simultaneously

To improve Terraform performance

To prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data stored in state

To automatically share state with all configurations
