Deprecation of user management via terraform #1558

Closed fbreckle closed 5 months ago

fbreckle commented 10 months ago

We maintain a decently sized userbase on aiven. We use this provider to create users and assign them to their projects and use a merge request based process so teams can manage their members mostly autonomously with supervision only from the userbase-owning team.

We recently started getting deprecation warnings for our terraform-maintained userbase. When investigating this, I assumed that the aiven_project_user resource had outstayed its welcome and we have to migrate to aiven_organization_user instead. I was surprised to learn that that resource is also deprecated.

Then I found in https://github.com/aiven/terraform-provider-aiven/commit/0dd160c1b7427898a2fc27f7d14641f590dcd9a3 that "Invitation of organization users is not supported anymore via Terraform". Then I got to the "We recommend to use WebUI to create and organization user invitation" part and I'm like: :open_mouth:

Am I missing something?

How is this not a giant step back? Are we really going back from "everything as code" to "use your mouse and browser" (mouse of all things)?

What is the rationale behind this change?

Hey, @fbreckle! 👋

We have the same idea that it should be done via Terraform, but unfortunately, the API was developed in a way that is not compatible with IaaC tools in mind at the moment.

I will forward this information to the relevant team. Thank you for raising this question!

Do we have more info on the API roadmap we are quite disapointed and we keep using the deprecated ressource but we hope aiven is not gona cut those API before finding a solution

@jean-mercier-hivebrite Could you please open an official support ticket. There are other solutions in place but I need more information about how you are using Aiven in order to recommend the right solution.
