You can set which organizations and users you want to be the owners of Terraform backends.
This allows Service Portal users to see backends and their infrastructure resources, along with the configurations for those resources.
Assigned ownership of backends also allows Service Portal users and non-superuser Admin Portal users to request configuration changes to Terraform resources as they appear in the state files. For more information, see Change Requests for XaaS Resources.
When you set the ownership for a backend, it's applied to both the backend and all of the infrastructure resources that belong to the backend. You can't set the ownership for individual resources.

You can add multiple owners; the first owner you add is automatically set as the primary owner.
If you didn't already select an organization, when you set ownership to an organization member, their organization is automatically selected. If the assigned users belong to multiple organizations, the first organization of the first user is selected, but you can change this assignment.
