azurerm_ad_users resource

[edit on GitHub]

Use the azurerm_ad_users InSpec audit resource to test properties of some or all Azure Active Directory users within a Tenant.

Azure REST API version

This resource interacts with version 1.6 of the Azure Graph API. For more information see the official Azure documentation.

I don’t see a way to select the version of the API in the Azure documents. If you notice a newer version being referenced in the official documentation please open an issue or submit a pull request using the updated version.

Azure Permissions

The Client/Active Directory Application you have configured Inspec Azure to use (AZURE_CLIENT_ID) must have permissions to read User data from the Azure Graph RBAC API.

Please refer to the Microsoft Documentation for information on how to grant these permissions to your application.

Note: An Azure Admin must grant your application these permissions.
