azurerm_key_vault_secret cannot use keyvault from another subscription within the same tenancy

[bikramgcnz]

We are trying to access keyvault located in another subscription within the same tenancy, but after a recent update, vault_uri parameter has been removed that means we can no longer access keyvault secret from a uri.

We need to specify key_vault_id but this doesn't work as expected because key vault won't be in the subscription its looking for. Either vault_uri needs to be re-added or a new parameter needs to be introduced to specify subscription_id, so the engine knows its from a different subscription.

Hi.

You can actually create multiple provider blocks and alias a subscription:

provider "azurerm" {
  alias  = "keyvaultsub"
  subscription_id = "<other_subscription_id>"
}

Then try in your azurerm_key_vault_secret data source, reference the alternate provider with provider = "keyvaultsub"
