Terraform (and Azure DevOps Provider) Version

Terraform v1.8.2
on linux_amd64

+ provider registry.terraform.io/microsoft/azuredevops v1.1.1

Affected Resource(s)

• azuredevops_git_repository

Terraform Configuration Files

terraform {
  required_providers {
    azuredevops = {
      source  = "microsoft/azuredevops"
      version = "~> 1.1.1"
    }
  }
}

provider "azuredevops" {
  org_service_url = "https://dev.azure.com/${var.azdoorganization}"
}

data "azuredevops_project" "this" {
  name = var.project_name
}

resource "azuredevops_git_repository" "this" {
  project_id = data.azuredevops_project.this.id
  name       = var.repo_name
  initialization {
    init_type = "Clean"
  }
}

Debug Output

Panic Output

Expected Behavior

I should be able to recreate the existing repository in another project if the permissions are the same in both projects

Actual Behavior

Provider deletes the repository of the old project, but when creating the repository in the new project I get this error:
TF401027: You need the Git 'ManageAdvSecScanning' permission to perform this action. Details: identity 'Build\<project_collection_build_service_id>', scope 'repository'.. When I clear the state and run Terraform, a new repository is created and the mentioned error does not appear, which proves that no additional permissions are required beyond those currently granted.

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform apply
2. Change var.project_name
3. terraform apply

Important Factoids

I noticed that during this operation, despite deleting the old repository from Azure DevOps, Terraform does not update the state in case of a problem, which causes another problem that I mentioned here

When I extended the permissions with ManageAdvSecScanning (Advanced Security: manage settings), the problem disappeared. It looks like this permission was only required for deletion. The permissions required to create new repositories are:

• Create repository
• Advanced Security: manage settings

It would be good to include this information in the documentation
