Hi,

About two weeks ago I created an API key and today I wanted to edit it but it failed with the error message saying "you don't have permission to edit this api key. required permission serviceusage.apikeys.update
I tried editing other keys I created thru the years and none are working. 

What should check out ?

Hi Jean,


Thanks for your post,


From the error message I would think that your IAM permission was somehow modified from last week. Apparently your user doesn’t have the “serviceusage.apiKeys.update” permission. This permission is granted in different roles that you can find here :


  • Owner (roles/owner)

  • Editor (roles/editor)

  • API Keys Admin (roles/serviceusage.apiKeysAdmin)


Also here is a quickstart for IAM if you are not familiar with granting permission to a user.
