Disable a parameter version

This page describes how to disable versions within a parameter.

Disabling parameter versions is helpful in the following scenarios:

  • If a specific version of a parameter represents a deprecated or outdated configuration, disabling it prevents accidental use.
  • If a version contains sensitive information that should no longer be accessible, disabling it mitigates security risks.
  • If you suspect that a specific version of a parameter is causing problems, disabling the version can help isolate the issue.
  • If you're testing new configurations or experimenting with different settings, you might disable versions temporarily.

Required roles

To get the permissions that you need to disable a parameter version, ask your administrator to grant you the Parameter Manager Admin (roles/parametermanager.parameterAdmin) IAM role on the parameter, project, folder, or organization. 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 parameter version

To disable a parameter version, use the following command:

gcloud

Disable a global parameter version

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

  • PARAMETER_VERSION_ID: the ID of the parameter version
  • PARAMETER_ID: the name of the parameter

Execute the following command:

Linux, macOS, or Cloud Shell

gcloud beta parametermanager parameters versions update PARAMETER_VERSION_ID --parameter=PARAMETER_ID --location=global --disabled

Windows (PowerShell)

gcloud beta parametermanager parameters versions update PARAMETER_VERSION_ID --parameter=PARAMETER_ID --location=global --disabled

Windows (cmd.exe)

gcloud beta parametermanager parameters versions update PARAMETER_VERSION_ID --parameter=PARAMETER_ID --location=global --disabled

You should receive a response similar to the following:

Updated parameterVersion [range1].
createTime: '2024-11-14T10:07:12.883361876Z'
disabled: true
name: projects/production-1/locations/global/parameters/allowed_ip_ranges/versions/range1

Disable a regional parameter version

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

  • PARAMETER_VERSION_ID: the ID of the parameter version
  • PARAMETER_ID: the name of the parameter
  • LOCATION: the Google Cloud location of the parameter

Execute the following command:

Linux, macOS, or Cloud Shell

gcloud beta parametermanager parameters versions update PARAMETER_VERSION_ID --parameter=PARAMETER_ID --location=LOCATION --disabled

Windows (PowerShell)

gcloud beta parametermanager parameters versions update PARAMETER_VERSION_ID --parameter=PARAMETER_ID --location=LOCATION --disabled

Windows (cmd.exe)

gcloud beta parametermanager parameters versions update PARAMETER_VERSION_ID --parameter=PARAMETER_ID --location=LOCATION --disabled

You should receive a response similar to the following:
