# google\_folder
Allows management of a Google Cloud Platform folder. For more information see
[the official documentation](https://cloud.google.com/resource-manager/docs/creating-managing-folders)
and
[API](https://cloud.google.com/resource-manager/reference/rest/v2/folders).
A folder can contain projects, other folders, or a combination of both. You can use folders to group projects under an organization in a hierarchy. For example, your organization might contain multiple departments, each with its own set of Cloud Platform resources. Folders allows you to group these resources on a per-department basis. Folders are used to group resources that share common IAM policies.
Folders created live inside an Organization. See the [Organization documentation](https://cloud.google.com/resource-manager/docs/quickstarts) for more details.
The service account used to run Terraform when creating a `google_folder`
resource must have `roles/resourcemanager.folderCreator`. See the
[Access Control for Folders Using IAM](https://cloud.google.com/resource-manager/docs/access-control-folders)
doc for more information.
## Example Usage
```hcl
# Top-level folder under an organization.
resource "google_folder" "department1" {
display_name = "Department 1"
parent = "organizations/1234567"
}
# Folder nested under another folder.
resource "google_folder" "team-abc" {
display_name = "Team ABC"
parent = "${google_folder.department1.name}"
}
```
## Argument Reference
The following arguments are supported:
* `display_name` - (Required) The folders display name.
A folders display name must be unique amongst its siblings, e.g. no two folders with the same parent can share the same display name. The display name must start and end with a letter or digit, may contain letters, digits, spaces, hyphens and underscores and can be no longer than 30 characters.
* `parent` - (Required) The resource name of the parent Folder or Organization.
Must be of the form `folders/{folder_id}` or `organizations/{org_id}`.
## Attributes Reference
In addition to the arguments listed above, the following computed attributes are
exported:
* `name` - The resource name of the Folder. Its format is folders/{folder_id}.
* `lifecycle_state` - The lifecycle state of the folder such as `ACTIVE` or `DELETE_REQUESTED`.
* `create_time` - Timestamp when the Folder was created. Assigned by the server.
A timestamp in RFC3339 UTC "Zulu" format, accurate to nanoseconds. Example: "2014-10-02T15:01:23.045123456Z".
## Import
Folders can be imported using the folder autogenerated `name`, e.g.
```
# Both syntaxes are valid
$ terraform import google_folder.department1 1234567
$ terraform import google_folder.department1 folders/1234567
```
