Method: projects.serviceAccounts.undelete

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

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/[email protected], 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
