Tagging of Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/fileServices not supported

[mloskot]

The API reference at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/templates/microsoft.storage/storageaccounts/fileservices does not list tags or any other property that would allow to tag the Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/fileServices resource.

Such resource can be accessed via the Portal:

https://portal.azure.com/#@cadcorp.cloud/resource/subscriptions/{id}/resourcegroups/{group}/providers/microsoft.storage/storageaccounts/{account}/fileservices/default/overview

where {id}, {group} and {account} are placeholders, where tagging is clearly allowed:

How to add tags to this resource but with IaC?

Hi @mloskot ,

Thank you for taking time to report this issue!

It seems it's a bug on the Portal side. Though the tags management showed in the Portal, it's not working.

Behind the scenes, it tries to use the below API to manage the tags(but the file service doesn't support it):

resource "azapi_resource" "tags" {
  type      = "Microsoft.Resources/tags@2024-07-01"
  parent_id = "/subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/example-rg/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/examplesa/fileServices/default"
  name      = "default"
  body = {
    properties = {
      tags = {
        dev = "true"
      }
    }
  }
}

Hi @ms-henglu, thank you very much for your explanation.
This shortcoming is quite unfortunate as it seems to be biasing Cost Analysis report.
I have carefully tagged all my resources with customer tag, then I realised there is number of resources which

• are missing the customer tag
• generate significant cost

and those costly resources seem to be of type of Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/fileServices:

That is, if I click on any of the resource in the table, it takes me to Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/fileServices page of it:

Would you have any recommendation how to deal with this? How to get the resource (cost per that resource) tagged properly?
Does it qualify for Microsoft Azure support ticket?

Hi @mloskot ,

I'd recommend to open an Azure support ticket for this case.
