CancelRotateSecretRequest

Container for the parameters to the CancelRotateSecret operation. Disables automatic scheduled rotation and cancels the rotation of a secret if currently in progress.

To re-enable scheduled rotation, call RotateSecret with

AutomaticallyRotateAfterDays
set to a value greater than 0. This immediately rotates your secret and then enables the automatic schedule.
note

If you cancel a rotation while in progress, it can leave the

VersionStage
labels in an unexpected state. Depending on the step of the rotation in progress, you might need to remove the staging label
AWSPENDING
from the partially created version, specified by the
VersionId
response value. You should also evaluate the partially rotated new version to see if it should be deleted, which you can do by removing all staging labels from the new version
VersionStage
field.

To successfully start a rotation, the staging label

AWSPENDING
must be in one of the following states:
  • Not attached to any version at all

  • Attached to the same version as the staging label

    AWSCURRENT

If the staging label

AWSPENDING
attached to a different version than the version with
AWSCURRENT
then the attempt to rotate fails.

Minimum permissions

To run this command, you must have the following permissions:

  • secretsmanager:CancelRotateSecret

Related operations

  • To configure rotation for a secret or to manually trigger a rotation, use RotateSecret.

  • To get the rotation configuration details for a secret, use DescribeSecret.

  • To list all of the currently available secrets, use ListSecrets.

  • To list all of the versions currently associated with a secret, use ListSecretVersionIds.

CancelRotateSecretResponse

This is the response object from the CancelRotateSecret operation.

CreateSecretRequest

Container for the parameters to the CreateSecret operation. Creates a new secret. A secret in Secrets Manager consists of both the protected secret data and the important information needed to manage the secret.

Secrets Manager stores the encrypted secret data in one of a collection of "versions" associated with the secret. Each version contains a copy of the encrypted secret data. Each version is associated with one or more "staging labels" that identify where the version is in the rotation cycle. The

SecretVersionsToStages
field of the secret contains the mapping of staging labels to the active versions of the secret. Versions without a staging label are considered deprecated and not included in the list.

You provide the secret data to be encrypted by putting text in either the

SecretString
parameter or binary data in the
SecretBinary
parameter, but not both. If you include
SecretString
or
SecretBinary
then Secrets Manager also creates an initial secret version and automatically attaches the staging label
AWSCURRENT
to the new version.
note

  • If you call an operation to encrypt or decrypt the

    SecretString
    or
    SecretBinary
    for a secret in the same account as the calling user and that secret doesn't specify a AWS KMS encryption key, Secrets Manager uses the account's default AWS managed customer master key (CMK) with the alias
    aws/secretsmanager
    . If this key doesn't already exist in your account then Secrets Manager creates it for you automatically. All users and roles in the same AWS account automatically have access to use the default CMK. Note that if an Secrets Manager API call results in AWS creating the account's AWS-managed CMK, it can result in a one-time significant delay in returning the result.
  • If the secret resides in a different AWS account from the credentials calling an API that requires encryption or decryption of the secret value then you must create and use a custom AWS KMS CMK because you can't access the default CMK for the account using credentials from a different AWS account. Store the ARN of the CMK in the secret when you create the secret or when you update it by including it in the

    KMSKeyId
    . If you call an API that must encrypt or decrypt
    SecretString
    or
    SecretBinary
    using credentials from a different account then the AWS KMS key policy must grant cross-account access to that other account's user or role for both the kms:GenerateDataKey and kms:Decrypt operations.

Minimum permissions

To run this command, you must have the following permissions:

  • secretsmanager:CreateSecret

  • kms:GenerateDataKey - needed only if you use a customer-managed AWS KMS key to encrypt the secret. You do not need this permission to use the account default AWS managed CMK for Secrets Manager.

  • kms:Decrypt - needed only if you use a customer-managed AWS KMS key to encrypt the secret. You do not need this permission to use the account default AWS managed CMK for Secrets Manager.

  • secretsmanager:TagResource - needed only if you include the

    Tags
    parameter.

CreateSecretResponse

This is the response object from the CreateSecret operation.

DecryptionFailureException

Secrets Manager can't decrypt the protected secret text using the provided KMS key.

DeleteResourcePolicyRequest

Container for the parameters to the DeleteResourcePolicy operation. Deletes the resource-based permission policy attached to the secret.

Minimum permissions

To run this command, you must have the following permissions:

  • secretsmanager:DeleteResourcePolicy

Related operations

  • To attach a resource policy to a secret, use PutResourcePolicy.

  • To retrieve the current resource-based policy that's attached to a secret, use GetResourcePolicy.

  • To list all of the currently available secrets, use ListSecrets.

DeleteResourcePolicyResponse

This is the response object from the DeleteResourcePolicy operation.

DeleteSecretRequest

Container for the parameters to the DeleteSecret operation. Deletes an entire secret and all of its versions. You can optionally include a recovery window during which you can restore the secret. If you don't specify a recovery window value, the operation defaults to 30 days. Secrets Manager attaches a

DeletionDate
stamp to the secret that specifies the end of the recovery window. At the end of the recovery window, Secrets Manager deletes the secret permanently.

At any time before recovery window ends, you can use RestoreSecret to remove the

DeletionDate
and cancel the deletion of the secret.

You cannot access the encrypted secret information in any secret that is scheduled for deletion. If you need to access that information, you must cancel the deletion with RestoreSecret and then retrieve the information.

note

  • There is no explicit operation to delete a version of a secret. Instead, remove all staging labels from the

    VersionStage
    field of a version. That marks the version as deprecated and allows Secrets Manager to delete it as needed. Versions that do not have any staging labels do not show up in ListSecretVersionIds unless you specify
    IncludeDeprecated
    .
  • The permanent secret deletion at the end of the waiting period is performed as a background task with low priority. There is no guarantee of a specific time after the recovery window for the actual delete operation to occur.

Minimum permissions

To run this command, you must have the following permissions:

  • secretsmanager:DeleteSecret

Related operations

  • To create a secret, use CreateSecret.

  • To cancel deletion of a version of a secret before the recovery window has expired, use RestoreSecret.

DeleteSecretResponse

InvalidNextTokenException

You provided an invalid

NextToken
value.
InvalidParameterException

You provided an invalid value for a parameter.

InvalidRequestException

You provided a parameter value that is not valid for the current state of the resource.

Possible causes:

  • You tried to perform the operation on a secret that's currently marked deleted.

  • You tried to enable rotation on a secret that doesn't already have a Lambda function ARN configured and you didn't include such an ARN as a parameter in this call.

LimitExceededException

The request failed because it would exceed one of the Secrets Manager internal limits.

ListSecretVersionIdsRequest

Container for the parameters to the ListSecretVersionIds operation. Lists all of the versions attached to the specified secret. The output does not include the

SecretString
or
SecretBinary
fields. By default, the list includes only versions that have at least one staging label in
VersionStage
attached.
note

Always check the

NextToken
response parameter when calling any of the
List*
operations. These operations can occasionally return an empty or shorter than expected list of results even when there more results become available. When this happens, the
NextToken
response parameter contains a value to pass to the next call to the same API to request the next part of the list.

Minimum permissions

ListSecretsRequest

Container for the parameters to the ListSecrets operation. Lists all of the secrets that are stored by Secrets Manager in the AWS account. To list the versions currently stored for a specific secret, use ListSecretVersionIds. The encrypted fields

SecretString
and
SecretBinary
are not included in the output. To get that information, call the GetSecretValue operation.

MalformedPolicyDocumentException

The policy document that you provided isn't valid.

PreconditionNotMetException

The request failed because you did not complete all the prerequisite steps.

PublicPolicyException

The resource policy did not prevent broad access to the secret.

PutResourcePolicyRequest

Container for the parameters to the PutResourcePolicy operation. Attaches the contents of the specified resource-based permission policy to a secret. A resource-based policy is optional. Alternatively, you can use IAM identity-based policies that specify the secret's Amazon Resource Name (ARN) in the policy statement's

Resources
element. You can also use a combination of both identity-based

and resource-based policies. The affected users and roles receive the permissions that are permitted by all of the relevant policies. For more information, see Using Resource-Based Policies for AWS Secrets Manager. For the complete description of the AWS policy syntax and grammar, see IAM JSON Policy Reference in the IAM User Guide.

Minimum permissions

To run this command, you must have the following permissions:

  • secretsmanager:PutResourcePolicy

Related operations

PutResourcePolicyResponse

This is the response object from the PutResourcePolicy operation.

PutSecretValueRequest

Container for the parameters to the PutSecretValue operation. Stores a new encrypted secret value in the specified secret. To do this, the operation creates a new version and attaches it to the secret. The version can contain a new

SecretString
value or a new
SecretBinary
value. You can

also specify the staging labels that are initially attached to the new version.

note

The Secrets Manager console uses only the

SecretString
field. To add binary data to a secret with the
SecretBinary
field you must use the AWS CLI or one of the AWS SDKs.
  • If this operation creates the first version for the secret then Secrets Manager automatically attaches the staging label

    AWSCURRENT
    to the new version.
  • If another version of this secret already exists, then this operation does not automatically move any staging labels other than those that you explicitly specify in the

    VersionStages
    parameter.
  • If this operation moves the staging label

    AWSCURRENT
    from another version to this version (because you included it in the
    StagingLabels
    parameter) then Secrets Manager also automatically moves the staging label
    AWSPREVIOUS
    to the version that
    AWSCURRENT
    was removed from.
  • This operation is idempotent. If a version with a

    VersionId
    with the same value as the
    ClientRequestToken
    parameter already exists and you specify the same secret data, the operation succeeds but does nothing. However, if the secret data is different, then the operation fails because you cannot modify an existing version; you can only create new ones.
note

  • If you call an operation to encrypt or decrypt the

    SecretString
    or
    SecretBinary
    for a secret in the same account as the calling user and that secret doesn't specify a AWS KMS encryption key, Secrets Manager uses the account's default AWS managed customer master key (CMK) with the alias
    aws/secretsmanager
    . If this key doesn't already exist in your account then Secrets Manager creates it for you automatically. All users and roles in the same AWS account automatically have access to use the default CMK. Note that if an Secrets Manager API call results in AWS creating the account's AWS-managed CMK, it can result in a one-time significant delay in returning the result.
  • If the secret resides in a different AWS account from the credentials calling an API that requires encryption or decryption of the secret value then you must create and use a custom AWS KMS CMK because you can't access the default CMK for the account using credentials from a different AWS account. Store the ARN of the CMK in the secret when you create the secret or when you update it by including it in the

    KMSKeyId
    . If you call an API that must encrypt or decrypt
    SecretString
    or
    SecretBinary
    using credentials from a different account then the AWS KMS key policy must grant cross-account access to that other account's user or role for both the kms:GenerateDataKey and kms:Decrypt operations.

Minimum permissions

To run this command, you must have the following permissions:

  • secretsmanager:PutSecretValue

  • kms:GenerateDataKey - needed only if you use a customer-managed AWS KMS key to encrypt the secret. You do not need this permission to use the account's default AWS managed CMK for Secrets Manager.

RestoreSecretRequest

Container for the parameters to the RestoreSecret operation. Cancels the scheduled deletion of a secret by removing the

DeletedDate
time stamp. This makes the secret accessible to query once again.

Minimum permissions

To run this command, you must have the following permissions:

  • secretsmanager:RestoreSecret

Related operations

RestoreSecretResponse

This is the response object from the RestoreSecret operation.

RotateSecretRequest

Container for the parameters to the RotateSecret operation. Configures and starts the asynchronous process of rotating this secret. If you include the configuration parameters, the operation sets those values for the secret and then immediately starts a rotation. If you do not include the configuration parameters, the operation starts a rotation with the values already stored in the secret. After the rotation completes, the protected service and its clients all use the new version of the secret.

This required configuration information includes the ARN of an AWS Lambda function and the time between scheduled rotations. The Lambda rotation function creates a new version of the secret and creates or updates the credentials on the protected service to match. After testing the new credentials, the function marks the new secret with the staging label

AWSCURRENT
so that your clients all immediately begin to use the new version. For more information about rotating secrets and how to configure a Lambda function to rotate the secrets for your protected service, see Rotating Secrets in AWS Secrets Manager in the AWS Secrets Manager User Guide.

Secrets Manager schedules the next rotation when the previous one completes. Secrets Manager schedules the date by adding the rotation interval (number of days) to the actual date of the last rotation. The service chooses the hour within that 24-hour date window randomly. The minute is also chosen somewhat randomly, but weighted towards the top of the hour and influenced by a variety of factors that help distribute load.

The rotation function must end with the versions of the secret in one of two states:

  • The

    AWSPENDING
    and
    AWSCURRENT
    staging labels are attached to the same version of the secret, or
  • The

    AWSPENDING
    staging label is not attached to any version of the secret.

If the

AWSPENDING
staging label is present but not attached to the same version as
AWSCURRENT
then any later invocation of
RotateSecret
assumes that a previous rotation request is still in progress and returns an error.

Minimum permissions

To run this command, you must have the following permissions:

  • secretsmanager:RotateSecret

  • lambda:InvokeFunction (on the function specified in the secret's metadata)

Related operations

RotateSecretResponse

RotationRulesType

A structure that defines the rotation configuration for the secret.

SecretListEntry

A structure that contains the details about a secret. It does not include the encrypted

SecretString

SecretBinary
values. To get those values,

use the GetSecretValue operation.

SecretVersionsListEntry

A structure that contains information about one version of a secret.

SecretsManagerPaginatorFactory

Paginators for the SecretsManager service

Tag

A structure that contains information about a tag.

TagResourceRequest

Container for the parameters to the TagResource operation. Attaches one or more tags, each consisting of a key name and a value, to the specified secret. Tags are part of the secret's overall metadata, and are not associated with any specific version of the secret. This operation only appends tags to the existing list of tags. To remove tags, you must use UntagResource.

The following basic restrictions apply to tags:

  • Maximum number of tags per secret—50

  • Maximum key length—127 Unicode characters in UTF-8

  • Maximum value length—255 Unicode characters in UTF-8

  • Tag keys and values are case sensitive.

  • Do not use the

    aws:
    prefix in your tag names or values because AWS reserves it for AWS use. You can't edit or delete tag names or values with this prefix. Tags with this prefix do not count against your tags per secret limit.
  • If you use your tagging schema across multiple services and resources, remember other services might have restrictions on allowed characters. Generally allowed characters: letters, spaces, and numbers representable in UTF-8, plus the following special characters: + - = . _ : / @.

If you use tags as part of your security strategy, then adding or removing a tag can change permissions. If successfully completing this operation would result in you losing your permissions for this secret, then the operation is blocked and returns an Access Denied error.

Minimum permissions

To run this command, you must have the following permissions:

  • secretsmanager:TagResource

Related operations

  • To remove one or more tags from the collection attached to a secret, use UntagResource.

  • To view the list of tags attached to a secret, use DescribeSecret.

TagResourceResponse

This is the response object from the TagResource operation.

UntagResourceRequest

Container for the parameters to the UntagResource operation. Removes one or more tags from the specified secret.

This operation is idempotent. If a requested tag is not attached to the secret, no error is returned and the secret metadata is unchanged.

If you use tags as part of your security strategy, then removing a tag can change permissions. If successfully completing this operation would result in you losing your permissions for this secret, then the operation is blocked and returns an Access Denied error.

Minimum permissions

To run this command, you must have the following permissions:

  • secretsmanager:UntagResource

Related operations

  • To add one or more tags to the collection attached to a secret, use TagResource.

  • To view the list of tags attached to a secret, use DescribeSecret.

UntagResourceResponse

This is the response object from the UntagResource operation.

UpdateSecretRequest

Container for the parameters to the UpdateSecret operation. Modifies many of the details of the specified secret. If you include a

ClientRequestToken
and either
SecretString
or
SecretBinary
then it also creates a new version attached to the secret.

To modify the rotation configuration of a secret, use RotateSecret instead.

note

The Secrets Manager console uses only the

SecretString
parameter and therefore limits you to encrypting and storing only a text string. To encrypt and store binary data as part of the version of a secret, you must use either the AWS CLI or one of the AWS SDKs.
  • If a version with a

    VersionId
    with the same value as the
    ClientRequestToken
    parameter already exists, the operation results in an error. You cannot modify an existing version, you can only create a new version.
  • If you include

    SecretString
    or
    SecretBinary
    to create a new secret version, Secrets Manager automatically attaches the staging label
    AWSCURRENT
    to the new version.
note

  • If you call an operation to encrypt or decrypt the

    SecretString
    or
    SecretBinary
    for a secret in the same account as the calling user and that secret doesn't specify a AWS KMS encryption key, Secrets Manager uses the account's default AWS managed customer master key (CMK) with the alias
    aws/secretsmanager
    . If this key doesn't already exist in your account then Secrets Manager creates it for you automatically. All users and roles in the same AWS account automatically have access to use the default CMK. Note that if an Secrets Manager API call results in AWS creating the account's AWS-managed CMK, it can result in a one-time significant delay in returning the result.
  • If the secret resides in a different AWS account from the credentials calling an API that requires encryption or decryption of the secret value then you must create and use a custom AWS KMS CMK because you can't access the default CMK for the account using credentials from a different AWS account. Store the ARN of the CMK in the secret when you create the secret or when you update it by including it in the

    KMSKeyId
    . If you call an API that must encrypt or decrypt
    SecretString
    or
    SecretBinary
    using credentials from a different account then the AWS KMS key policy must grant cross-account access to that other account's user or role for both the kms:GenerateDataKey and kms:Decrypt operations.

Minimum permissions

To run this command, you must have the following permissions:

  • secretsmanager:UpdateSecret

  • kms:GenerateDataKey - needed only if you use a custom AWS KMS key to encrypt the secret. You do not need this permission to use the account's AWS managed CMK for Secrets Manager.

  • kms:Decrypt - needed only if you use a custom AWS KMS key to encrypt the secret. You do not need this permission to use the account's AWS managed CMK for Secrets Manager.

UpdateSecretVersionStageRequest

Container for the parameters to the UpdateSecretVersionStage operation. Modifies the staging labels attached to a version of a secret. Staging labels are used to track a version as it progresses through the secret rotation process. You can attach a staging label to only one version of a secret at a time. If a staging label to be added is already attached to another version, then it is moved--removed from the other version first and then attached to this one. For more information about staging labels, see Staging Labels in the AWS Secrets Manager User Guide.

The staging labels that you specify in the

VersionStage
parameter are added to the existing list of staging labels--they don't replace it.

You can move the

AWSCURRENT
staging label to this version by including it in this call.
note

Whenever you move

AWSCURRENT
, Secrets Manager automatically moves the label
AWSPREVIOUS
to the version that
AWSCURRENT
was removed from.

If this action results in the last label being removed from a version, then the version is considered to be 'deprecated' and can be deleted by Secrets Manager.

Minimum permissions

To run this command, you must have the following permissions:

  • secretsmanager:UpdateSecretVersionStage
