Removing a member from a group outside of terraform causes an error during terraform plan

[b-goberdhan]

We are currently have an AD Group that is managed by terraform. This group will be populated with members that applications. These applications are simple Azure Web Apps that have AD integration enabled.

When we deleted the Azure Web App through azure portal, it also removed the application from the AD Group (since it no longer exists).

When terraform ran it's planning stage, it would spit out the following error:
Error: Azure AD Group Member not found - groupObjectId:"<groupId>" / memberObjectId: "<memberId>"

Expected Behavior:
Terraform should continue with it's plan and should re-create the member since it no longer exists within the AD Group.

Temporary Workaround:
I ran the the following command to remove the member from the terraform state file:

terraform state rm "module.database.azuread_group_member.sql_appservice_member[1]"

Running terraform plan/apply worked afterwards.

Extra info:
azuread provider version: 0.7

The code used to create members of the AD Group (we use an iterator). The object id's of app services are passed in as variables into the module.

resource "azuread_group_member" "members" {
  count = length(var.ad_sql_app_service_object_ids)
  group_object_id = "${data.azuread_group.myappservices.id}"
  member_object_id = "${var.ad_app_service_object_ids[count.index]}"
}
