How to create multiple azure ad users using terraform? - azure

Question

I am trying to create multiple users using terraform. For now I am declaring them as locals but later on i will be using json file to create multiple users in my azuread environment.
Here is how i declare the locals:
locals {
users = [
[
"user1",
"Example User1",
"Password#1234#"
],
[
"user2",
"Example User2",
"Password#09876#"
]
]
}
But when I use the below code I am getting an error:
resource "azuread_user" "test" {
for_each = local.users
user_principal_name = "${each.value[0]}#tenantname.OnMicrosoft.com"
display_name = each.value[1]
mail_nickname = each.value[0]
password = each.value[2]
}
Error:
╷
│ Error: Invalid for_each argument
│
│ on main.tf line 18, in resource "azuread_user" "test":
│ 18: for_each = local.users
│ ├────────────────
│ │ local.users is tuple with 2 elements
│
│ The given "for_each" argument value is unsuitable: the "for_each" argument must be a map, or set of strings, and you have provided a value of type tuple.
╵
Will really appreciate any help on how to resolve this?

Answer 1

You have to covert it to a map:
resource "azuread_user" "test" {
for_each = {for idx, user in local.users: idx => user}
user_principal_name = "${each.value[0]}#M365B109047.OnMicrosoft.com"
display_name = each.value[1]
mail_nickname = each.value[0]
password = each.value[2]
}

Answer 2

As you have been told in the other answer, you need it to be a map, but before doing a for as in the other answer, it would use terraform's own tomap () function.
resource "azuread_user" "test" {
for_each = tomap({users=local.users})
user_principal_name = "${each.value[0]}#M365B109047.OnMicrosoft.com"
display_name = each.value[1]
mail_nickname = each.value[0]
password = each.value[2]
