ARM KeyVault Access Policies Conditional Add - azure-keyvault

Question

Is it possible to add an access policy via a conditional statement? Basically, if environment == production I don't want to add the registration.
I have the following in my template however I don't want the application called foobarApplicationId to be added if the environment is production. Can I do this inline or do I need a seperate template? Will setting foobarApplicationId to be an empty string work?
{
"name": "[variables('keyVault-name')]",
"type": "Microsoft.KeyVault/vaults",
"apiVersion": "2016-10-01",
"location": "[resourceGroup().location]",
"properties": {
"tenantId": "[subscription().tenantId]",
"sku": {
"family": "A",
"name": "standard"
},
"accessPolicies": [
{
"tenantId": "[subscription().tenantId]",
"objectId": "[parameters('keyVaultOwner')]",
"permissions": {
"keys": [
"all"
],
"secrets": [
"all"
],
"certificates": [
"all"
],
"storage": [
]
}
},
{
"tenantId": "[subscription().tenantId]",
"objectId": "[parameters('foobarApplicationId')]",
"permissions": {
"keys": [
"get",
"wrapKey",
"unwrapKey",
"sign",
"verify",
"list"
],
"secrets": [
"get",
"list"
],
"certificates": [
"get",
"list"
],
"storage": [
]
}
},

Answer 1

"condition" within "accessPolicies" doesn't seem to have any effect for me. It doesn't cause any validation or deployment error, but the access policies got added even when the condition evaluated to false.
I found the following trick works better: Use an if clause for your "objectId" and "permissions", such that if the condition is false, you would assign an empty set of permissions to the empty GUID, effectively becoming a no-op.
{
"$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2019-04-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
"contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
"variables": {
"keyVaultNoPermissions": { },
"keyVaultAppReadPermissions": {
"keys": [ "get", "wrapKey", "unwrapKey", "sign", "verify", "list" ],
"secrets": [ "get", "list" ],
"certificates": [ "get", "list" ]
}
},
"resources": [
// ...
{
"type": "Microsoft.KeyVault/vaults/accessPolicies",
"apiVersion": "2016-10-01",
"name": "[concat(parameters('keyVaultName'), '/add')]",
"location": "[resourceGroup().location]",
"dependsOn": [
"[parameters('keyVaultName')]"
],
"properties": {
"accessPolicies": [
{
"tenantId": "[subscription().tenantId]",
"objectId": "[if(not(equals(parameters('environment'), 'PROD')), parameters('foobarApplicationId'), '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000')]",
"permissions": "[if(not(equals(parameters('environment'), 'PROD')), variables('keyVaultAppReadPermissions'), variables('keyVaultNoPermissions'))]"
}
]
}
}
]
}

Answer 2

It would be in the individual access policy adding a condition section that will take an environment parameter like:
{
"condition": "[not(equals(parameters('environment'),'PROD'))]"
"tenantId": "[subscription().tenantId]",
"objectId": "[parameters('foobarApplicationId')]",
"permissions": {
"keys": [
"get",
"wrapKey",
"unwrapKey",
"sign",
"verify",
"list"
],
"secrets": [
"get",
"list"
],
"certificates": [
"get",
"list"
],
"storage": [
]
}
}

Add the access policies separately, conditionally. You can see an explanation here.
{
"resources": [{
"name": "[variables('keyVault-name')]",
"type": "Microsoft.KeyVault/vaults",
"apiVersion": "2016-10-01",
"location": "[resourceGroup().location]",
"properties": {
"tenantId": "[subscription().tenantId]",
"sku": {
"family": "A",
"name": "standard"
},
"accessPolicies": [{
"tenantId": "[subscription().tenantId]",
"objectId": "[parameters('keyVaultOwner')]",
"permissions": {
"keys": [
"all"
],
"secrets": [
"all"
],
"certificates": [
"all"
],
"storage": [
]
}
}
]
}
}, {
"name": "[concat(variables('keyVault-name'), '/add')]",
"type": "Microsoft.KeyVault/vaults",
"apiVersion": "2016-10-01",
"condition": "[not(startsWith(parameters('environmentName'), 'PROD'))]",
"location": "[resourceGroup().location]",
"properties": {
"tenantId": "[subscription().tenantId]",
"sku": {
"family": "A",
"name": "standard"
},
"accessPolicies": [{
"tenantId": "[subscription().tenantId]",
"objectId": "[parameters('foobarApplicationId')]",
"permissions": {
"keys": [
"get",
"wrapKey",
"unwrapKey",
"sign",
"verify",
"list"
],
"secrets": [
"get",
"list"
],
"certificates": [
"get",
"list"
],
"storage": [
]
}
}
]
}
}
]
}
