Description

I'd like to use Terraform to manage release pipeline folders. We often create an empty release folder, then assign permissions to that folder so a specific team can manage its contents.

I'd also like to be able to set permissions on those folders, similar to the existing azuredevops_build_definition_permissions resource, but applicable to release pipelines and folders.

New or Affected Resource(s)

• azuredevops_release_definition_folder (new)
• azuredevops_release_definition_permissions (new)

Potential Terraform Configuration

resource "azuredevops_release_definition_folder" "folder" {
  project_id = azuredevops_project.project.id
  path       = "\\ExampleFolder"
}

resource "azuredevops_release_definition_permissions" "folder" {
  project_id  = azuredevops_project.project.id
  principal   = data.azuredevops_group.project-readers.id

  path        = azuredevops_release_definition_folder.folder

  permissions = {
    ViewReleaseDefinition        = "Allow"
    EditReleaseDefinition        = "Allow"
    DeleteReleaseDefinition      = "Allow"
    ManageReleaseApprovers       = "Allow"
    ManageReleases               = "Allow"
    ViewReleases                 = "Allow"
    CreateReleases               = "Allow"
    EditReleaseEnvironment       = "Allow"
    DeleteReleaseEnvironment     = "Allow"
    AdministerReleasePermissions = "Allow"
    DeleteReleases               = "Allow"
    ManageDeployments            = "Allow"
    ManageReleaseSettings        = "Allow"
    ManageTaskHubExtension       = "Allow"
  }
}

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if release permissions will be possible to manage through the terraform module, like build permissions?

Is there any news on this topic?

Thanks in advance!
