    AdministrativeUnit Resource Properties

    To learn more about resource properties and how to use them, see Inputs and Outputs in the Architecture and Concepts docs.

    Inputs

    In Python, inputs that are objects can be passed either as argument classes or as dictionary literals.

    The AdministrativeUnit resource accepts the following input properties:

    DisplayName string
    The display name of the administrative unit.
    Description string
    The description of the administrative unit.
    HiddenMembershipEnabled bool
    Whether the administrative unit and its members are hidden or publicly viewable in the directory.
    Members List<string>

    A set of object IDs of members who should be present in this administrative unit. Supported object types are Users or Groups.

    Caution When using the members property of the azuread.AdministrativeUnit resource, to manage Administrative Unit membership for a group, you will need to use an ignore_changes = [administrative_unit_ids] lifecycle meta argument for the azuread.Group resource, in order to avoid a persistent diff.

    !> Warning Do not use the members property at the same time as the azuread.AdministrativeUnitMember resource for the same administrative unit. Doing so will cause a conflict and administrative unit members will be removed.

    PreventDuplicateNames bool
    If true, will return an error if an existing administrative unit is found with the same name
    DisplayName string
    The display name of the administrative unit.
    Description string
