Template mechanism - passing params from workspace to workspace service?

[jonnyry]

Does the current template mechanism support a way to pass outputs of a workspace install, as inputs to a workspace service install?

E.g.

A workspace creates Azure AD groups. A workspace service (e.g. AzureSQL) wants to use these same groups for authentication/permissions management. Is it possible to output the group names from the workspace, and for the resource processor to pass them as inputs to the workspace service install?

Appreciate you can recreate the group names from the workspace ID (which is passed in) but its rather brittle.

Thanks

Ah perfect thanks!

@jonnyry did this work? If so we should add this to the docs under building templates.

Not tested yet, unfortunately ran out of time on that issue.
