vnet network peering between different tenants failing through terraform

Terraform Providers Azure
1

Hi,

I am trying to do VNET Peering between two different tenants.

I am using azure service principle to do it, the user has all the appropriate permissions (Owner/Network Contributor).

From az cli with the command “az network vnet peering create”

its working well.

From terraform, i am getting the following error:

**unexpected status 403 (403 Forbidden) with error: LinkedAuthorizationFailed: The client has permission to perform action ‘Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/peer/action’ on scope ‘VNET_RESOURCE_ID/virtualNetworkPeerings/AUDC-Domain-services-To-umptest-vnet-eu’, however the current tenant **** is not authorized to access linked subscription **.

in my terraform code I have two providers defined with the subscription and tenant for each resource of vnet I am creating.

this is the terraform code:

resource "azurerm_virtual_network_peering" "peering1" {
  name                      = "PEERING1"
  resource_group_name       = var.resource_group
  virtual_network_name      = var.vnet_name
  remote_virtual_network_id = "/subscriptions/${var.remote_subscription}/resourceGroups/${var.remote_rg}/providers/Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/${var.remote_vnet}"
  allow_virtual_network_access = true
  provider = azurerm.primary
}

resource "azurerm_virtual_network_peering" "peering2" {
  name                      = "peering2"
  resource_group_name       = var.remote_rg
  virtual_network_name      = var.remote_vnet
  remote_virtual_network_id = var.vnet_id
  allow_virtual_network_access = true
  provider = azurerm.secondary
}
