secretmanager.versions.disable

The secretmanager.versions.disable permission allows an identity to disable active secret versions in Secret Manager, temporarily blocking their use by applications or services that depend on them.

gcloud secrets versions disable <VERSION> --secret="<SECRET_NAME>" --project=<PROJECTID>

secretmanager.secrets.delete

The secretmanager.secrets.delete permission set allows an identity to completely delete a secret and all of its stored versions in Secret Manager.

gcloud secrets delete <SECRET_NAME> --project=<PROJECT_ID>

secretmanager.secrets.update

The secretmanager.secrets.update permission allows an identity to modify a secret’s metadata and configuration (for example, rotation settings, version policy, labels, and certain secret properties).

  --project=PROJECT_ID \
  --clear-labels \
