Does Terraform Provider Detect Changes Made in Dashboard

If a tenant admin changes the Dashboard after creating a Terraform config for the given tenant, the subsequent Terraform import will not be aware of the changes made directly in the Dashboard and will override whatever settings were made at that time. This can cause unexpected issues since Terraform will not provide any warnings before overriding these values.

This article explains whether the Terraform provider can check for external updates made to the tenant before applying changes.

• Terraform

This is currently not possible.

• If using the Terraform provider, it is highly recommended that tenant updates be made only through the provider, not through the dashboard or using the Management API directly.
• This is mentioned in the Auth0 Terraform Provider documentation: Auto-generating Terraform config files from Auth0 tenant.
