can you paste the

create_app_role

body?

@prehistoric-activity-61023 Here is the body:

def create_app_role(host,admin_username,admin_password,payload,role_name):
    #logging.basicConfig(filename='example.log', encoding='utf-8', level=logging.DEBUG)
    #logging.debug('This message should go to the log file')
    url = 'https://' + host + '/_plugins/_security/api/roles/' + role_name
    basic_creds = admin_username + ':' + admin_password
    base64_bytes = base64.standard_b64encode(basic_creds.encode('utf-8'))
    base64_message = base64_bytes.decode('utf-8')

    headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': 'Basic ' + base64_message
    }
    http = urllib3.PoolManager()
    resp = http.request(
        "GET",
        url,
        headers=headers
    )
    #print(resp)
    if resp.status == 404:
        print('404 Role not found')
        #logging.debug('404 Role not found')
        print('Adding custom role')
        app_role_payload_bytes = json.dumps(payload).encode('ascii')
        resp = http.request(
            "PUT",
            url,
            body=app_role_payload_bytes,
            headers=headers
        )
    else:
        print('Role exists ')

well, if you accept

Input[str]

instead of

str

, you could do:

url = pulumi.Output.concat('https://', host, '/_plugins/_security/api/roles/', role_name)

within that function

As I mentioned I am very new to pulumi, and the code was never meant to be declarative. It was simply code I'm using to understand Input / Output in pulumi. Test/POC code. The Dynamic Provider looks to be what I need. It even mentions calling REST apis. I will investigate.

Oh, I see. That changes a lot 🙂.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
