[site24x7_amazon_monitor] user_group_ids vs user_group_names

[dhoppe]

The Site24x7 resource site24x7_amazon_monitor allows you to define a user group based on the ID or name.

Suppose I define a user group based on the name, because nobody can remember an ID. When terraform apply is executed for the first time, everything works fine, but when I execute terraform apply for the second time, Terraform tries to delete the ID.

Of course this does not work and I had to add a lifecycle to ignore changes for the user_group_ids attribute. If this behavior is intentional, it should be documented in some way.
