Description : Error while running Default configuration module

Describe the bug

I am trying to create a Default configurations as per the article https://github.com/Azure/terraform-azurerm-caf-enterprise-scale/wiki/%5BExamples%5D-Deploy-Default-Configuration with below change in the code

provider "azurerm" {
  features {}
  client_id                  = "SP_APP_ID"
  client_secret              = "SP_Secret"
  subscription_id            = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-00000000000" #Since I don't have subscription on my tenant I have given this to pass the tf authentication
  tenant_id                  = "My_tenant_id"
  skip_provider_registration = true  #Since I don't have subscription on my tenant I have given this to pass the tf authentication
}

FYI - 231/232 resources are creation complete. Attached the terraform apply output. [Uploading default.module.enterprise_scale.txt…]()

New Bee Question - How to execute the the default module on the new tenant that don't have any MGs or subscriptions in place ?

[praveenambati1233]

I have replaced subscription_id = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-00000000000" with one of the subscription id in our tenant. The problem is resolved. However, I can't see the Management Groups created in the tenant. Is it due to lack of permissions ?

The subscription deployment is the telemetry, you can disable this using input vars.

If the apply shows the MGs were created then they have been. Did you check the plan?

@matt-FFFFFF how to disable it using input vars ?

No need to check further. Not an issue.
