Set bucket encryption configuration

To set or remove the default customer-managed encryption key applied to a bucket, you make a PUT request that is scoped to the desired bucket, and you use the encryptionConfig query string parameter. You must include an XML document in the request body that indicates the Cloud Key Management Service key you want to set as the default for encrypting new objects added to the bucket. You cannot set the encryption configuration on a new bucket that you are creating.

You must have storage.buckets.update permission to set or remove the encryption configuration for a bucket.

Query string parameters

Parameter	Description	Required
encryptionConfig	Used to set or remove the encryption configuration for the bucket. When used in a PUT Bucket request, the request body should specify the desired Cloud KMS key, or else contain an empty EncryptionConfiguration element.	No

The following request body elements are applicable only if you use the encryptionConfig query string parameter to set or remove the default customer-managed encryption key used for an existing bucket.
