Disable a service account (stop token issuance)
Disables the selected service account (UI "Disable" on the detail header and in list row menus; also a bulk
action over selected rows). While disabled the account stops issuing tokens immediately — the UI toast reads
"Service account disabled — token issuance stopped" — and the list/detail badge flips to the stopped channel.
The resulting state is visible to subsequent reads.
Credential revocation: in the same transaction every non-revoked key of the account turns
terminal revoked and every ACTIVE API token (pc_live_…) the account holds or created turns REVOKED;
each one fails authentication (401) from the next request. Re-enabling the account does NOT revive them —
new keys must be minted. When anything was revoked, a SUCCEEDED iam.service_account.credentials.revoke
Operation is recorded for the activity/audit feed.
Validation: account must exist and be visible in the scope (else 404 NOT_FOUND); current state must
permit disable — an account already in disabled is rejected as a state conflict → 409 CONFLICT; caller must
hold an IAM command permission (owner|admin) else 403 FORBIDDEN.
Async & state: Applied inline — the status flips to disabled at once and a terminal, already-
SUCCEEDED tracking Operation is returned (202) so a later GET /operations/{id} resolves it as done and the
acting principal is stamped for the activity/audit feed.
Errors: 401 unauthenticated; 403 lacks command permission; 404 unknown account; 409 CONFLICT when the
account is already disabled or a concurrent state change is in flight; 500 command execution failure.
Idempotency/Concurrency: Idempotency-Key is optional (recommended); replay of the same
key returns the original Operation
so UI retries are safe and the account is not double-transitioned.
bearerTokenAuthorizationBearer <token>An API token (pc_live_…) or a service-account key (sak_live_…), created in Identity & Access Management and sent as Authorization: Bearer <token>. Requests are rate limited per credential and per tenant: every response carries X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset, and a refused request gets 429 RATE_LIMITED with Retry-After.
scopeId*stringOpaque ownership+authorization scope resolving to tenant + subscription + project.
serviceAccountId*stringService account identifier.
Idempotency-Key?stringOptional; recommended for safe retries. When sent, the same key+body within 24h replays the original result and the same key with a different body is 409 CONFLICT; keys are unique per tenant. When an API token or service-account (bearer) caller omits it, the request is applied once with no replay protection (a retry may apply it again). A console session gets one from the edge.
uuidDisable accepted; track progress via the returned Operation.
application/json- response
A long-running operation record. GET /operations/{operationId} returns its current state.
id*stringOperation identifier, unique platform-wide.
action*stringCanonical action id that started this operation, e.g. compute.instance.create.
state*OperationStateState machine for long-running operations. PENDING and RUNNING are transitional; the rest are terminal.
"PENDING""RUNNING""SUCCEEDED""FAILED""CANCELLED"resourceKind?|Kind of the target resource (matches RealtimeEvent.kind), null for resource-less actions.
resourceId?|Identifier of the target resource; null until the resource is allocated.
resourceName?|Human-readable name of the target resource captured when the operation was opened; null when unknown or the resource has been deleted (clients fall back to resourceId).
principalId?|Subject id (user id/email or service-account id) of the actor that initiated this operation, captured at the create chokepoint; null on internal/worker paths with no request-scoped principal or for historical rows. This is the real actor the Activity feed renders.
sourceIp?|Source IP address of the request that initiated this operation; null when unavailable (internal/worker paths, historical rows).
progressPercent?|Best-effort progress; null when the action does not report progress.
0 <= value <= 100error?|nullPopulated only when state is FAILED (or CANCELLED with partial rollback notes).
warning?|nullNon-fatal degradation recorded on an operation that still SUCCEEDED - the primary action completed but something explicitly requested could not be delivered (e.g. publicIp was requested at instance create but no floating IP could be assigned). On a CANCELLED create it reports that the provider resource had already been created and was kept (live and billed until deleted; details.disposition = left_in_place). Same code+message shape as error so clients render both uniformly; null when the operation ran without degradation.
startedAt?|When the worker began executing; null while PENDING.
finishedAt?|When a terminal state was reached; null while transitional.
