Delete parameter template versions

This document describes how to delete a parameter template version.

Consider deleting a parameter template version in the following scenarios:

  • The parameter template version is obsolete and is no longer needed.
  • The parameter template version contains sensitive information that needs to be permanently removed.
  • You want to simplify the management of parameter template versions by deleting old and unused versions.

Required roles

To get the permission that you need to delete a parameter template version, ask your administrator to grant you the Parameter Manager Parameter Version Manager (roles/parametermanager.parameterVersionManager) IAM role on the project, folder, or organization. For more information about granting roles, see Manage access to projects, folders, and organizations.

This predefined role contains the parametermanager.templateversions.delete permission, which is required to delete a parameter template version.

You might also be able to get this permission with custom roles or other predefined roles.
