Azure REST API version

This resource interacts with version 2018-03-01-preview of the Azure Management API. For more information see the official Azure documentation.

At the moment, there doesn’t appear to be a way to select the version of the Azure API docs. If you notice a newer version being referenced in the official documentation please open an issue or submit a pull request using the updated version.

Examples

Check Attributes of All Management Groups

Parameters

N/A

Attributes

• ids
• types
• names
• properties

ids

The management group ids.

types

The management group types.

The management group names.

properties

Additional properties relating to management groups.

Other Attributes

There are additional attributes that may be accessed that we have not documented. Please take a look at the Azure documentation. Any attribute in the response may be accessed with the key names separated by dots (.).

The API may not always return keys that do not have any associated data. There may be cases where the deeply nested property may not have the desired attribute along your call chain. If you find yourself writing tests against properties that may be nil, fork this resource pack and add an accessor to the resource. Within that accessor you’ll be able to guard against nil keys. Pull requests are always welcome.

Matchers

This InSpec audit resource has no special matchers. For a full list of available matchers, please visit our Universal Matchers page.

exists

The control will pass if the filter returns at least one result. Use should_not if you expect zero matches.

  it { should exist }
end

Azure Permissions

Your Service Principal must be setup with a Contributor or Management Group Contributor role on the Tenant Root Group or the specific management group(s) you wish to test.
