Hello everyone,

I am trying to create an ARM template to deploy secrets to key vault without manually adding them from portal. Attached are my parameters.json and main.json files. when deploying I am getting below error. Additionally, did anyone implemented this automation and were able to add multiple secrets to the vault suing json files? If so, please help me. Thank you in advance.

'The template resource '[parameters('adminusername')' for type 'Microsoft.KeyVault/vaults/secrets' at line '1' and column '1811' has incorrect segment lengths. A nested resource type must have identical number of segments as its resource name. A root resource type must have segment length one greater than its resource name

    Hi,

    There are no files attached but the error is clear. Resource Microsoft.KeyVault/vaults/secrets is not defined correctly. Add parent property to resource Microsoft.KeyVault/vaults/secrets. The parent resource should be of type Microsoft.KeyVault/vaults.
