Extensible attribute 'Terraform Internal ID' is not allowed for this operation

[golipradeep]

I upgraded Infoblox Terraform Provider to use >=2.7.0 & <3 in my code and added extensible attribute in Infoblox tool as one of the prerequisite before executing script

→ On executing the code after adding I am observing the following error:

│ Error: creation of A-record under DNS view ‘Internal’ failed: WAPI request error: 400(‘400 Bad Request’)

→ When I executed the code without adding the extensible attribute in Infoblox, I see the error as below:

Planning failed. Terraform encountered an error while generating this plan.

Hi @golipradeep,

Thank you for raising this issue. To help us better understand and resolve the problem, could you please provide the following details:

NIOS Version: Which version of NIOS are you using?
User Permissions: What permissions are assigned to the user configured in your Terraform setup? The error message suggests there might be some missing permissions:
“text”: “Extensible attribute ‘Terraform Internal ID’ is not allowed for this operation”
Terraform Configuration: Could you share the relevant parts of your Terraform configuration, including how you created the extensible attribute?

Additionally, since only superusers can manage extensible attribute definitions, the following error is expected if the user is not a superuser:
“text”: “Cannot create extensible attribute definition ‘Terraform Internal ID’. Only superusers can manage extensible attribute definition”

This information will help us diagnose the issue more effectively. Thank you!
