Can I map multiple Spacelift spaces to a single IDP group?

When setting up Identity Provider (IDP) group mappings in Spacelift, you may need to grant a single group access to multiple spaces with specific roles.
Answer
Yes, you can map multiple Spacelift spaces to a single IDP group by using multiple policy blocks within the spacelift_idp_group_mapping resource. Here's how to implement this:
1. First, structure your input data to specify the spaces and their corresponding group mappings. For example:
{
"uniqueindex": 1,
"name": "Space1",
"parent_space_id": "Default Space",
"aad_admin_group": "your-aad-group-guid"
}
2. Create a single spacelift_idp_group_mapping resource with multiple policy blocks:
resource "spacelift_idp_group_mapping" "aad_groups" {
for_each = local.grouped_assignments
name = each.key
dynamic "policy" {
for_each = each.value
content {
space_id = spacelift_space.project_spaces[...].id
role = policy.value.role
}
}
}Important: When implementing this approach, remember that:
Each IDP group (identified by its GUID) can only have one
spacelift_idp_group_mappingresourceYou need to deduplicate your group mappings before creating the resources
Multiple policy blocks within the same mapping allow you to specify different space and role combinations
