Retiring a Grant

Function

This API enables users to retire a grant.

For example, user A grants operation permissions on CMK A/key to user B and authorizes user C to retire the grant. By doing this, users A, B, and C all can cancel the permissions. After the canceling, user B does not have permissions on CMK A/key anymore.

The following are allowed to call this API:

  • The user who granted the permissions
  • The user indicated by parameter retiring_principal
  • The user indicated by parameter grantee_principal when retire-grant has been selected
