Ensure email is set

Description

This policy checks whether an email address is set for a Linode user. It is essential to have a valid email address associated with a user account for security and administrative purposes, such as password recovery and important notifications. Without a valid email address, users may not receive critical information, which could lead to security vulnerabilities or account lockouts. Setting an email address for a Linode user ensures that the user can receive necessary communications and helps maintain the security and integrity of the account.

Code Example

resource "linode_user" "example" {
  email = "[email protected]"
}

Remediation

Set a valid email address for the Linode user.
