Service Principal Permissions for Terraform in Azure DevOps

The service Principal requires more permission on few cases in Azure. But it doesn’t apply to all in this case. as the security model differs for the environment. Below is a scenario that vnet peering is failing on terraform as both the vNETs are managed by the same DevOps Project.

Search for Management Groups which are associated – Add all these service principals to a security group and then Add them to the network contributor role on the specific management group.

Add Network Contributor level on the management group in my case. in your case, it could be your resource group / virtual network level. whichever suits your environment.
