Description

I'm raising this issue to check if there is any interest in a resource for creating ad users using the AWS WorkDocs API.

For our use case we wanted to create new users in a directory and then assign them to a new workspace created with Terraform (using the user_name argument of aws_workspaces_workspace). Using the web UI this was possible, but using Terraform this was rather difficult because there was no resource for creating AD users (except using the ad_user resource, but this requires having a machine running in the same VPC as the AD instance so Terraform can access it).

I already created this resource to show it is possible (see #19769). Please let us know if there is more interest to have this in the provider!

New or Affected Resource(s)

• aws_ad_user

Potential Terraform Configuration

resource "aws_ad_user" "user" {
  email_address = "user@org.com"
  given_name = "Jane"
  organization_id = "d-********"
  password = "P4SSW0RD"
  surname = "Doe"
  username = "janedoe"
}
