Access Packages

Known issues

• Confusion and feature differences between beta and v1 API
• PATCH endpoints missing for many resources, e.g. policies
• PIM vs Access Packages
• Hourly access not supported for access packages
• Multiple approval stages not supported for PIM?
• Custom extensions - can we remove need for Logic Apps and just use HTTP calls
• Terraform provider - needs updating to use v1 API
• Hidden/unpublished access packages still appear in recently used list, and via direct links.
