[Enhancement]: Return complete Organization data for Delegated Administrator accounts

[bodgit]

Description

If an AWS account is a Delegated Administrator for a service within an Organization, it has read-only access to the Organization data such as account lists. This means the aws_organizations_organization data source can return the complete set of Organization data, just like the master account does.

Currently the data source code checks that the current account ID running Terraform is the same as the master account ID before gathering the rest of the data, therefore it should be possible to also request the list of delegated administrators and check that the current account is within that list somewhere. If the ListDelegatedAdministrators call fails with access denied then the account isn't a delegated administrator.

Affected Resource(s) and/or Data Source(s)

• aws_organizations_organization data source

Potential Terraform Configuration

data "aws_caller_identity" "delegated" {
  provider = "awsalternate"
}

resource "aws_organizations_delegated_administrator" "test" {
  account_id        = data.aws_caller_identity.delegated.account_id
  service_principal = "..."
}

data "aws_organizations_organization" "current" {
  provider = "awsalternate"

  depends_on = [
    aws_organizations_delegated_administrator.test,
  ]
}

output "account_ids" {
  value = data.aws_organizations_organization.current.accounts[*].id
}

... It grants read-only access to AWS Organizations service data.
