Hi,

I'm trying to grant with select permission on a database in an AlloyDB instance to an IAM Service Account user. The idea is to grant with this permission without login using postgres user and do it while we provision the resources (alloydb cluster,primary instance, Service Accounts,etc)
I'm getting an error message and I think it's because this provider is not yet available for AlloyDB.

Code

terraform {
  required_providers {
    postgresql = {
      source = "cyrilgdn/postgresql"
      version = "1.22.0"
    }
  }  
}

provider "google" {
  credentials = file(var.gcp_credential_path)
  project     = var.project_id
  scopes = local.scopes
  region = "us-east1"
}


provider "postgresql" {
  host            = "primaryinstance-name"
  port            = 5432
  database        = "postgres"
  username        = "postgres"
  password        = "Pa$$w0rd"
  sslmode         = "require"
  connect_timeout = 15
  scheme          = "gcppostgres"
}

resource "postgresql_grant" "readonly_tables" {
  #depends_on = [ google_alloydb_instance.primary_instance ]
  database    = "postgres"
  role        = "[email protected]"
  schema      = "public"
  object_type = "table"
  privileges  = ["SELECT"]
}

Error message:

module.gcp_alloydb.google_alloydb_cluster.cluster[0]: Modifications complete after 25s [id=projects/sbx-200827-data/locations/us-east1/clusters/sbx-200827-data-dave-cluster]

Error: Error connecting to PostgreSQL server  (scheme: gcppostgres): ensure that the account has access to "instancename:5432" (and make sure there's no typo in that name). Error during generateEphemeral for instancename:5432: googleapi: Error 403: boss::NOT_AUTHORIZED: Not authorized to access resource. Possibly missing permission cloudsql.instances.connect on resource instances/sbx-226722-darch3-primary-instance1., forbidden

If you see the error refer to a cloudsql.instances.connect permission error when I'm trying to access an AlloyDB instance.
