How to check for a set of paramaters

Terraform Providers Plugin Development
1

Hello,

I’m writing a provider. I have two parameters:

  • role: Admin/User
  • perms: a list of permissions

Considering that the Admin has a full access, how can I properly check that if the role is “User”, perms has to be set and non empty ?

I can do the check in the create function and throw an error, but then If I set as admin first and update the resource to user, it’s not checked.

ValidateFunc just take the parameter’s value, how can I cross check the value of the perms param from the role ?

Thank you
Jerome

The only way to achieve this at this time is to do the validation logic in the Create and Update functions or to use CustomizeDiff.
