Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform apply

Important Factoids

Nothing particularly atypical, but I am using Azure DevOps Server 2022 rather than Azure DevOps services, which means that rather than using the azuredevops_group data source used in the documentation I'm using azuredevops_identity_group instead.

@paddymorgan84 ADO server is not supported by this provider. All resources target ADO services. There might some API or feature difference between ADO service and ADO service

[paddymorgan84]

Thanks @xuzhang3. I didn't realise this was the case, it seems odd because there are resources such as azuredevops_identity_group that have been created specifically to handle on premise Azure DevOps?

[xuzhang3]

@paddymorgan84 Most of the API between ADO service and ADO service are same but some are different. azuredevops_identity_group was originally added to support the on-premise/non-cloud APIs.

I have the same problem on ADO service, so it's not happening only on on-prem ADO.
