Deletes a ServiceAccount. Warning: After you delete a service account, you might not be able to undelete it. If you know that you need to re-enable the service account in the future, use DisableServiceAccount instead. If you delete a service account, IAM permanently removes the service account 30 days later. Google Cloud cannot recover the service account after it is permanently removed, even if you file a support request. To help avoid unplanned outages, we recommend that you disable the service account before you delete it. Use DisableServiceAccount to disable the service account, then wait at least 24 hours and watch for unintended consequences. If there are no unintended consequences, you can delete the service account.

Scopes

You will need authorization for the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform scope to make a valid call.

If unset, the scope for this method defaults to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform. You can set the scope for this method like this: iam1 --scope <scope> projects service-accounts-delete ...

Required Scalar Argument

  • <name> (string)
    • Required. 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/fake@example.com, which does not exist, the response contains an HTTP 403 Forbidden error instead of a 404 Not Found error.
