Need to be able to lookup teams based on the list of names considering that not all of them may exists yet

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Consider SSO enabled Env0 org. Env0 to my knowledge does not use SCIM at the moment, so the Teams are being populated to Env0 only when a first member of corresponding IdP group log in for the first time. Until then the team does not exists.

Consider a TF module that's used to create Env0 projects and assign permissions to corresponding teams. Such a module would accept a list of group names, which may include groups names that doesn't yet exists as Env0 Teams.

Trying to do something like this in that case would fail:

data "env0_team" "compartment_admins" {
  for_each = toset(local.okta_admin_groups)
  name     = each.key
}

The error would be something like

╷
│ Error: Could not find an env0 team with name <redacted>
│ 
│   with data.env0_team.compartment_admins["<redacted>"],
│   on env0_project_policy.tf line 1, in data "env0_team" "compartment_admins":
│    1: data "env0_team" "compartment_admins" {
│ 
╵

Describe the solution you'd like

There needs to be a way to account for a fact that the team might not exist yet, so the code would not fail and process other groups that do. Maybe env0_teams data source needs to be able to provide some kind of filter as an input, but there needs to be corresponding API endpoint otherwise if TF providers would do the filtering client-side - that wouldn't actually solve anything.

Describe alternatives you've considered

As a workaround I considered the following approach

data "env0_teams" "all_teams" {}

data "env0_team" "compartment_admins" {
  for_each = toset([
    for group in data.env0_teams.all_teams.names : group
    if contains(local.okta_admin_groups, group)
  ])
  name = each.value
}

The downside is that env0_teams data source trying to get a list of all teams in the org, which is excessive and unnecessary. Additionally, it fails agains another issue described in #981

Hi @dee-kryvenko

I'm trying to understand the request. And what would be the best solution for your requirements.
Please note that teams pagination is resolved.
We could add a filter to data "env0_teams" - would that help?

Thanks!

Yes, I think that the ability to specify a filter would help, and data source must not fail if the result is empty list. It would just be empty list.
