  description              = "global scope"
  scope_id                 = "global"
  auto_create_admin_role   = true
  auto_create_default_role = true
}

resource "boundary_scope" "project" {
  name                   = "project_one"
  description            = "My first scope!"
  scope_id               = boundary_scope.org.id

}

resource "boundary_credential_store_static" "example" {
  name        = "example_static_credential_store"
  description = "My first static credential store!"
  scope_id    = boundary_scope.project.id
}

resource "boundary_credential_json" "example" {
  name                = "example_json"
  description         = "My first json credential!"
  credential_store_id = boundary_credential_store_static.example.id
  object              = file("~/object.json") # change to valid json file
