# State API

State represents the status of your infrastructure at the last time Terraform was run. States can be pushed to Terraform Enterprise from Terraform's CLI after an apply is done locally, or state is automatically stored if the apply is done in Terraform Enterprise.

### State Attributes

  <tr>
    <th>Attribute</th>

    <th>Required</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><code>username</code></td>
    <td>If supplied, only return states belonging to the organization with this username.</td>
    <td>No</td>
  </tr>
</table>
