Terraform - Azure Resource Group: Error: ID cannot be a Resource Group ID-CodePudding

I am currently migrating our cloud infrastructure over to Terraform. I am trying to assign a policy to a resource group. However it fails with an error

│ Error: ID cannot be a Resource Group ID

│ with azurerm_resource_policy_assignment.example, on main.tf line 50, in resource a zurerm_resource_policy_assignment" "example":

│ 50: resource_id = azurerm_resource_group.example.id

# Configure the Microsoft Azure provider
provider "azurerm" {
  features {}
}

data "azurerm_subscription" "primary" {
}

data "azurerm_client_config" "example" {
}

# Define Policy
resource "azurerm_policy_definition" "example" {
  display_name = "only-deploy-in-westus"
  name        = "only-deploy-in-westus"
  policy_type = "Custom"

# Create a Resource Group if it doesn’t exist
resource "azurerm_resource_group" "example" {

# Assign Policy
resource "azurerm_resource_policy_assignment" "example" {
  name                 = "example-policy-assignment"
  resource_id          = azurerm_resource_group.example.id
  policy_definition_id = azurerm_policy_definition.example.id
}

CodePudding user response：

It should be:

resource_group_id = azurerm_resource_group.example.id

rather then

resource_id = azurerm_resource_group.example.id

CodePudding user response：

In order to assign a policy to a resource group you cannot use azurerm_resource_policy_assignment but would need to use azurerm_resource_group_policy_assignment.

resource "azurerm_resource_group_policy_assignment" "example" {
  name                 = "example"
  resource_group_id    = azurerm_resource_group.example.id
  policy_definition_id = azurerm_policy_definition.example.id
}
