Terraform Azure Tags for user who executed the code.

Question

Hi,
I have to add a tag in Azure Resource while deploying it through Terraform, this tag should automatically fetch username/email who executing the code. Is there anyway we can refer this in Terraform code like some function?
I want to add CreatedBy tag which should automatically put username in Azure-

    tags                =   {
                          Business = var.business
                          Organization = var.company
                          Environment = var.env
                          CreatedOn =  formatdate("YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm ZZZ", timestamp())
                          CreatedBy = **<> (this value should be automatically popup based on user who executed Terraform code)**
                        }

Hi @Amjad Nagori ,

I haven't tried this by myself. But maybe it helps to get started:

The stdout of the PowerShell could be done like this:

Write-Output $env:USER
