You’ll also need to setup your Azure credentials; see the resource pack README.

Syntax

The group_id must be given as a parameter.

Optionally, you may use the expand, recurse and/or filter parameters.

describe azurerm_management_group(group_id: 'MyGroupId', expand: 'children', recurse: true) do

Parameters

  • group_id
  • expand
  • recurse
  • filter

Parameter Examples

group_id (required)

Defines the group id of the management group that you wish to test.

describe azurerm_management_group(group_id: 'MyGroupId') do
  ...
end

expand (optional)

Query string parameter allows clients to request inclusion of children so that you can test them.

describe azurerm_management_group(group_id: 'MyGroupId', expand: 'children') do
  ...
end

recurse (optional)

Setting this to true allows clients to request inclusion of entire hierarchy in the response payload. Note that expand: 'children' must be passed up if recurse is set to true.

describe azurerm_management_group(group_id: 'MyGroupId', expand: 'children', recurse: true) do
  ...
end

filter (optional)

A filter which allows the exclusion of subscriptions from results (i.e. filter: 'children.childType ne Subscription')

describe azurerm_management_group(group_id: 'MyGroupId', expand: 'children', recurse: true, filter: 'children.childType ne Subscription') do
  ...
end

Other Attributes

There are additional attributes that may be accessed that we have not documented. Please take a look at the Azure documentation. Any attribute in the response may be accessed with the key names separated by dots (.).

The API may not always return keys that do not have any associated data. There may be cases where the deeply nested property may not have the desired attribute along your call chain. If you find yourself writing tests against properties that may be nil, fork this resource pack and add an accessor to the resource. Within that accessor you’ll be able to guard against nil keys. Pull requests are always welcome.

Matchers

This InSpec audit resource has the following special matchers. For a full list of available matchers, please visit our Universal Matchers page.

exists

# If a management group is found it will exist
describe azurerm_management_group(groupd_id: 'MyGroupId') do
  it { should exist }
end

# management groups that aren't found will not exist
describe azurerm_management_group(groupd_id: 'DoesNotExist') do
  it { should_not exist }
end

Azure Permissions

Your Service Principal must be setup with a contributor role on the Tenant Root Group or the specific management group(s) you wish to test.
