Can't specify support_email with google_iap_brand resource

[pierrefevrier]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the google_iap_brand but always got the following error: Error: Error creating Brand: googleapi: Error 400: Support email is not allowed: [email protected].

I'm executing Terraform with a gcp project specific service account.

I tried several email address and groups but nothing works.
I'm asking my-self whether the only way to make it works is to run Terraform with the user that correspond to the email I set on support_email ?

Thanks for your help.

@pierrefevrier can you try your google group email (of your org) for support_email attrubute and see if the error goes away.

Hey @pierrefevrier

Wanted to chime in with some extra information on the support_email field.

You are onto something: https://cloud.google.com/iap/docs/programmatic-oauth-clients the support_email field has restrictions as follows:

The support email displayed on the OAuth consent screen. This email address can either be a user's address or a Google Groups alias. While service accounts also have an email address, they are not actual valid email addresses, and cannot be used when creating a brand. However, a service account can be the owner of a Google Group. Either create a new Google Group or configure an existing group and set the desired service account as an owner of the group.

Generally terraform runs as a service account, so the easiest way to have the service account own the support_email address would be to have the service account be an owner of a Google Group.

Alternatively you could run terraform as the user that owns the support email, but I haven't tested this and it could be difficult if you have other infrastructure in your terraform config

Thank you @venkykuberan and @slevenick.
By adding the service account as owner of the Cloud Identity group I want to use the email address to use as support_email, it works !
