Show building block logs to workspace users
planned
Jelle den Burger
At the moment the logs for workspace users show basically no information. But in the admin area I can see everything.
I wish workspace users could also simply see the full logs so they could possibly troubleshoot simple issues themselves like strings being too long or invalid regexes, etc.

Absolutely crucial. Otherwise the platform team will be the bottleneck if users have failed deployments which they cannot debug.
For a team of 5 people and close to 1000 cloud accounts this is absolutely untenable.
I am wondering why this was not implemented in the first place?

Fabian: Hey Fabian we will implement this soon.
We intended building blocks to be isolated from the app teams initially.
What is the exact intention that you want them to see the logs? Do they fail often? And do they fail because of wrong user input then? Is it feasible that the app teams fix this themselves?

Jelle den Burger one example is that we have a building block which allows users to create azure custom roles.
this means, they have a textbox in which they can provide actions the role should have, e.g.:
actions = [
"Microsoft. Compute/virtualMachines/read",
"Microsoft. Compute/virtualMachines/start/action",
"Microsoft. Compute/virtualMachines/deallocate/action",
]
one colleague used chatgpt to generate this role, and the actions were heavily hallucinated, resulting in a back and forth between us and the collegaue.
generally, things can go wrong when providing custom building blocks and if users have a little more information other than "failed", everyone would be better off i think.
