Restores a deleted ServiceAccount
.
Important:It is not always possible to restore a deleted service account. Use this method only as a last resort.
After you delete a service account, IAM permanently removes the service account 30 days later. There is no way to restore a deleted service account that has been permanently removed.
HTTP request
POST https://iam.googleapis.com/v1/{name=projects/*/serviceAccounts/*}:undelete
The URL uses gRPC Transcoding syntax.
Path parameters
name
string
The resource name of the service account.
Use one of the following formats:
-
projects/{PROJECT_ID}/serviceAccounts/{EMAIL_ADDRESS} -
projects/{PROJECT_ID}/serviceAccounts/{UNIQUE_ID}
As an alternative, you can use the -
wildcard character instead of the project ID:
-
projects/-/serviceAccounts/{EMAIL_ADDRESS} -
projects/-/serviceAccounts/{UNIQUE_ID}
When possible, avoid using the -
wildcard character, because it can cause response messages to contain misleading error codes. For example, if you try to access the service account projects/-/serviceAccounts/fake@example.com
, which does not exist, the response contains an HTTP 403 Forbidden
error instead of a 404 Not
Found
error.
Authorization requires the following IAM
permission on the specified resource name
:
-
iam.serviceAccounts.undelete
