Fetches details of an existing Kosli service account. Use this data source to reference service accounts and access metadata such as the privilege, creator, and creation timestamp. Use this data source to:
  • Reference an existing service account managed outside Terraform
  • Read the granted privilege, creating user, and creation timestamp
  • Build conditional logic based on service account metadata

​
Example usage

terraform {
  required_providers {
    kosli = {
      source = "kosli-dev/kosli"
    }
  }
}

# Create a service account
resource "kosli_service_account" "ci" {
  name        = "ci-pipeline"
  description = "CI/CD pipeline service account"
  privilege   = "member"
}

# Look up the service account via data source
data "kosli_service_account" "ci" {
  name = kosli_service_account.ci.name
}

# Reference service account metadata
output "ci_privilege" {
  description = "Privilege (role) of the CI service account"
  value       = data.kosli_service_account.ci.privilege
}

output "ci_created_at" {
  description = "RFC3339 UTC timestamp of when the service account was created"
  value       = data.kosli_service_account.ci.created_at
}
