Disable a secret version

This page describes how to disable a secret version. A secret version can be in one of the following three states :

  • Enabled

  • Disabled

  • Destroyed

You won't be able to access a secret version after you have disabled the version. You can restore access by re-enabling the version.

Required roles

To get the permissions that you need to disable a secret version, ask your administrator to grant you the Secret Manager Secret Version Manager ( roles/secretmanager.secretVersionManager ) IAM role on a secret. For more information about granting roles, see Manage access to projects, folders, and organizations .

You might also be able to get the required permissions through custom roles or other predefined roles .

Disable a secret version

To disable a secret version, use one of the following methods:

Console

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Secret Manager page.

    Go to Secret Manager

  2. On the Secret Manager page, click a secret to access its versions.

  3. On the secret details page, in the Versions tab, select the secret version that you want to access.

  4. Click Actions for the secret version that you want to disable, and then click Disable .

  5. In the confirmation dialog that appears, click Disable selected versions .

gcloud

Before using any of the command data below, make the following replacements:

  • VERSION_ID : the ID of the secret version
  • SECRET_ID : the ID of the secret

Execute the following command:

Linux, macOS, or Cloud Shell

gcloud  
secrets  
versions  
disable  
 VERSION_ID 
  
--secret = 
 SECRET_ID 

Windows (PowerShell)

gcloud  
secrets  
versions  
disable  
 VERSION_ID 
  
--secret = 
 SECRET_ID 

Windows (cmd.exe)

gcloud  
secrets  
versions  
disable  
 VERSION_ID 
  
--secret = 
 SECRET_ID 

REST

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

  • PROJECT_ID : the Google Cloud project ID
  • SECRET_ID : the ID of the secret
  • VERSION_ID : the ID of the secret version

HTTP method and URL:

POST https://secretmanager.googleapis.com/v1/projects/ PROJECT_ID 
/secrets/ SECRET_ID 
/versions/ VERSION_ID 
:disable

Request JSON body:

{}

To send your request, choose one of these options:

curl

Save the request body in a file named request.json , and execute the following command:

curl -X POST \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8" \
-d @request.json \
"https://secretmanager.googleapis.com/v1/projects/ PROJECT_ID /secrets/ SECRET_ID /versions/ VERSION_ID :disable"

PowerShell

Save the request body in a file named request.json , and execute the following command:

$cred = gcloud auth print-access-token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $cred" }

Invoke-WebRequest `
-Method POST `
-Headers $headers `
-ContentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8" `
-InFile request.json `
-Uri "https://secretmanager.googleapis.com/v1/projects/ PROJECT_ID /secrets/ SECRET_ID /versions/ VERSION_ID :disable" | Select-Object -Expand Content

You should receive a JSON response similar to the following:

{
  "name": "projects/ PROJECT_ID 
/locations/ LOCATION 
/secrets/ SECRET_ID 
/versions/ VERSION_ID 
",
  "createTime": "2024-09-02T07:16:34.566706Z",
  "state": "DISABLED",
  "etag": "\"16214546481514\""
}
