Access Terraform Cloud environment variable

I'm trying to figure out Terraform Cloud, just wondering how I would access environment variables I've set in the workspace within my files?

// main.tf

// Configure the Google Cloud provider
provider "google" {
  credentials = "GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS"
  project     = "my-project"
  region      = "australia-southeast1"
}

I've set an environment variable on the cloud workspace GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS with the value being my .json key formatted to work with TFC.

Just not sure how to access it within my main.tf file like above

add credentials to the Terraform Cloud environment variable TF_VAR_credentials and set it as sensitive. then you can use the variable here :

provider "google" {
  credentials = var.credentials
  project     = var.project
  region      = var.region
}

and declare your variable like this

variable "credentials" {
  description = "credentials"
}

variable "project" {
  description = "project"
}

variable "region" {
  description = "region"
}

then on the apply command you can pass :

terraform apply \
    -var "region=${REGION_FROM_ENV}" \
    -var "project=${PROJECT_FROM_ENV}" \
    -var "credentials=${GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS}"

here's a reference : https://www.terraform.io/docs/commands/apply.html#var-39-foo-bar-39-
