We’re excited to announce the beta release of the Terraform provider for SAP Cloud Identity Services. Built based on customer feedback and feature requests, this provider is a much-awaited step forward in simplifying identity management.

Why Automate SAP Cloud Identity Services?

 It provides a secure, centralised approach to identity and access management across systems, making it an important part of any modern SAP landscape.

As your organisation grows, scaling identity & access management starts to become a challenge, and automation becomes essential.

With this new Terraform provider, you can bring infrastructure-as-code (IaC) practices to your identity environment, delivering:

  • Repeatability

  • Auditability

  • Governance

  • Faster deployments

What’s in the Box? 🚀

The provider will be developed in a phased and scoped manner. It will evolve based on feedback, requirements, and user scenarios.

In this beta release, our focus is on foundational resources that are central to identity & authentication:

Application

Applications represent consumers of Identity Authentication such as SAP cloud solutions, third-party apps, SAP BTP subaccount, etc.

  • Data Sources: Retrieve details of specific applications or list all applications within a tenant.
