# CLI Authentication

[Terraform Cloud](/docs/cloud/index.html) and
|
|||
|
|
[Terraform Enterprise](/docs/enterprise/index.html) are platforms that perform
|
|||
|
|
Terraform runs to provision infrastructure, offering a collaboration-focused
|
|||
|
|
environment that makes it easier for teams to use Terraform together. (For
|
|||
|
|
expediency, the content below refers to both products as "Terraform Cloud.")
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Terraform CLI integrates with Terraform Cloud in several ways — it can be a
|
|||
|
|
front-end for [CLI-driven runs](/docs/cloud/run/cli.html) in Terraform Cloud,
|
|||
|
|
and can also use Terraform Cloud as a state backend and a private module
|
|||
|
|
registry. All of these integrations require you to authenticate Terraform CLI
|
|||
|
|
with your Terraform Cloud account.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The best way to handle CLI authentication is with the `login` and `logout`
|
|||
|
|
commands, which help automate the process of getting an API token for your
|
|||
|
|
Terraform Cloud user account.
