Enabling and disabling key versions

A key version has a state which determines if it can be used for encryption and decryption.

To enable or disable a key version, a user needs the appropriate Cloud Identity and Access Management role or permission.

• The pre-defined roles roles/cloudkms.admin, roles/owner, or roles/editor can enable or disable a key version.

• A custom role that contains the cloudkms.cryptoKeyVersions.update permission can enable or disable a key version.

Disable an enabled key version

Only a key version which is enabled can be disabled. This is done with the method UpdateCryptoKeyVersion using the state field, client library methods that map to UpdateCryptoKeyVersion, gcloud kms keys versions disable, or the Google Cloud Platform Console.

Note: There will be a delay of about a minute between when you disable the key, and it is still usable for encrypting and decrypting data.

Console

1. Go to the Cryptographic keys page in the GCP Console.
   Go to the Cryptographic keys page
   

2. Click the name of the key ring that contains the key whose key version you will disable.

3. Click the key whose key version you want to disable.

4. Click the key version that you want to disable.

5. Click Disable.

6. When prompted to confirm the disabling of the key version, click Disable.

Command-line

To disable version "42" of key "answer" in key ring "answers"

gcloud kms keys versions disable 42 --location global --keyring answers --key answer
