How to renew storage access policy for azure shared file storage using terraform?

Question

Let's assume this simple example of creating shared file storage on Azure using Terraform and azurerm provider.

resource "azurerm_resource_group" "example" {
  name     = "azuretest"
  location = "West Europe"
}

resource "azurerm_storage_account" "example" {
  name                     = "azureteststorage"
  resource_group_name      = azurerm_resource_group.example.name
  location                 = azurerm_resource_group.example.location
  account_tier             = "Standard"
  account_replication_type = "LRS"
}

resource "azurerm_storage_share" "example" {
  name                 = "sharename"
  storage_account_name = azurerm_storage_account.example.name
  quota                = 50

  acl {
    id = "MTIzNDU2Nzg5MDEyMzQ1Njc4OTAxMjM0NTY3ODkwMTI"

    access_policy {
      permissions = "rwdl"
      start       = "2020-08-02T09:38:21.0000000Z"
      expiry      = "2021-08-02T10:38:21.0000000Z"
    }
  }
}

The access policy states that it will expire on August 2 2021. How to extend that using terraform? Is it even possible?

Have you tried just changing the date and re-running the Terraform?

You are creating a Stored Access Policy, which outside of Terraform can just be updated by sending an update request, so I would have thought Terraform would do the same.

That does make sense but it is nowhere explicitly stated in the docs. I will try that right away. – Darko Miletic Aug 10 '20 at 18:49
That's it. I am glad it was my ignorance and not lack of terraform functionality. – Darko Miletic Aug 10 '20 at 18:53
