Method: projects.serviceAccounts.enable

Enables a ServiceAccount that was disabled by serviceAccounts.disable.

If the service account is already enabled, then this method has no effect.

If the service account was disabled by other means—for example, if Google disabled the service account because it was compromised—you cannot use this method to enable the service account.

HTTP request

POST https://iam.googleapis.com/v1/{name=projects/*/serviceAccounts/*}:enable

The URL uses gRPC Transcoding syntax.

Path parameters

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:
