Description

Currently the azuread_group data source only returns direct members of the group. It would be helpful to be able to also get all transitive members of that group. I see that Microsoft Graph has the API https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups/GROUP_ID/transitiveMembers which could be leveraged for this.

The existing data source could be updated as shown below or a new data source could be created.

New or Affected Resource(s)

• azuread_group (update exisiting)
• azuread_group_members (create separate)

Potential Terraform Configuration

data "azuread_group" "example" { display_name = "Group Name Here" include_members = "transitive" }

# Copy-paste your Terraform configurations here - for large Terraform configs,
# please use a service like Dropbox and share a link to the ZIP file. For
# security, you can also encrypt the files using our GPG public key.

The current "groups List Members" method and client from Hamilton does not currently allow for this query to be passed through but would be relatively easy to implement: HamiltonCode - The SDK behind the Microsoft graph interactions (note the only params are the group id)

Noting here that https://github.com/manicminer/hamilton/pull/191 has been merged, and transitive members can now be included in terraform's azuread_group data source. @Threpio please advise if a new issue should be opened for this functionality.

Woops, looks like this was closed prematurely :)

I'm just discovering this open issue, while searching for a solution to this problem. At the moment, is there any way that this can be utilized in its current state?

I ended up publishing my own version...

terraform {
  required_providers {
    azuread = {
      source  = "TomasKunka/azuread"
      version = "2.48.0"
    }
  }
}

data "azuread_group" "example" {
  display_name               = "example"
  include_transitive_members = true
}

output "group_members" {
  value = data.azuread_group.example.members
}
