how do I tell pulumi that a resource already exists (because it was created manually before)? I tried

pulumi refresh

and

pulumi up --refresh

, but neither seems to do this. Exact steps: 1. added resource manually 2. updated Pulumi definitions to match 3. run

pulumi refresh

etc. with no success Why do I need this? because the resource in question is one I don't have permissions to create, it was created by someone higher up the food-chain.

you want to import a resource

yes, that works - thank you!
