+# Provider Tiers
+
+There are three tiers of providers in the Terraform Registry:
+
+* **Official Providers** - are built, signed, and supported by HashiCorp. Official Providers can typically be used without providing
+  provider source information in your Terraform configuration.
+* **Partner Providers** - are built, signed, and supported by a third party. HashiCorp has verified the ownership of the private
+  key and we provide a chain of trust to the CLI to verify this programatically. To use Partner Providers in your Terraform
+  configuration, you need to specify the provider source, typically this is the namespace and name to download from the registry.
+* **Community Providers** - are built, signed, and supported by a third party. HashiCorp does not provide a verification or chain
+  of trust for the signing. You will want to obtain and validate fingerprints manually if you want to ensure you are using a
+  binary you can trust.
