Terraform (and AzureRM Provider) Version

Terraform 0.12.31 AzureRM 2.92

Affected Resource(s)

• azurerm_api_management_subscription

Debug Output

Error: Can not parse "user_id" as a resource id: Cannot parse Azure ID: parse "1": invalid URI for request2022-01-22T23:55:55.062+0100 [WARN] plugin.stdio: received EOF, stopping recv loop: err="rpc error: code = Unavailable desc = transport is closing"

Expected Behaviour

Allow to set the subscription key on the Administrator for a certain product.

Actual Behaviour

Error: Can not parse "user_id" as a resource id: Cannot parse Azure ID: parse "1": invalid URI for request2022-01-22T23:55:55.062+0100 [WARN] plugin.stdio: received EOF, stopping recv loop: err="rpc error: code = Unavailable desc = transport is closing"

I would expect to be able to set the subscription key on the administrator account, and leave the display name empty like is in the portal for administrator accounts.

Steps to Reproduce

Try to set the subscription key for the Administrator user, which can be found as "1" in the list of users. However, this is not accepted by the apply command.

resource "azurerm_api_management_subscription" "subscriptionManagementAdmin" { api_management_name = azurerm_api_management.apim.name resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.rg.name product_id = "productId" user_id = "1" display_name = "Administrator" state = "active" primary_key = "abc" allow_tracing = true }

Actually, I think the naming is confusing. I think it's looking for the Id of a user, not the user_id, so maybe this can be solved by renaming.

@jeanpaulsmit The user_id is a resource ID not a simple ID as an number. Example user_id : "/subscriptions/{subID}resourceGroups/{resourceGroup}/providers/Microsoft.ApiManagement/service/{APIMService}/users/{id}"

[jeanpaulsmit]

@xuzhang3 yes, correct, but exactly that fact makes the naming confusing. user_id is not supposed to be the id of the user, but the id of the resource.

[xuzhang3]

@jeanpaulsmit Yes, the name here is confusing. This property should rename to owner_id as the API(https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/apimanagement/current-ga/subscription/create-or-update#request-body) defines and the doc should document that this is a user ID path not a simple numeric ID.

Thanks for opening this issue. This was a problem in the 2.x version of the provider which is no longer actively maintained. If this is still an issue with the 3.x version of the provider please do let us know by opening a new issue, thanks!
