# UntagResource
<a name="API_UntagResource"></a>

Removes specific tags from a 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.

**Important**  
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.

Secrets Manager generates a CloudTrail log entry when you call this action. Do not include sensitive information in request parameters because it might be logged. For more information, see [Logging Secrets Manager events with AWS CloudTrail](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/secretsmanager/latest/userguide/retrieve-ct-entries.html).

 **Required permissions: ** `secretsmanager:UntagResource`. For more information, see [ IAM policy actions for Secrets Manager](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/secretsmanager/latest/userguide/reference_iam-permissions.html#reference_iam-permissions_actions) and [Authentication and access control in Secrets Manager](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/secretsmanager/latest/userguide/auth-and-access.html). 

## Request Syntax
<a name="API_UntagResource_RequestSyntax"></a>

```
{
   "SecretId": "string",
   "TagKeys": [ "string" ]
}
```

## Request Parameters
<a name="API_UntagResource_RequestParameters"></a>

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see [Common Parameters](CommonParameters.md).

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

 ** [SecretId](#API_UntagResource_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="SecretsManager-UntagResource-request-SecretId"></a>
The ARN or name of the secret.  
For an ARN, we recommend that you specify a complete ARN rather than a partial ARN. See [Finding a secret from a partial ARN](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/secretsmanager/latest/userguide/troubleshoot.html#ARN_secretnamehyphen).  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 2048.  
Required: Yes

 ** [TagKeys](#API_UntagResource_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="SecretsManager-UntagResource-request-TagKeys"></a>
A list of tag key names to remove from the secret. You don't specify the value. Both the key and its associated value are removed.  
This parameter requires a JSON text string argument.  
For storing multiple values, we recommend that you use a JSON text string argument and specify key/value pairs. For more information, see [Specifying parameter values for the AWS CLI](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-usage-parameters.html) in the AWS CLI User Guide.  
Type: Array of strings  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 128.  
Required: Yes

## Response Elements
<a name="API_UntagResource_ResponseElements"></a>

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response with an empty HTTP body.

## Errors
<a name="API_UntagResource_Errors"></a>

For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see [Common Errors](CommonErrors.md).

 ** InternalServiceError **   
An error occurred on the server side.  
HTTP Status Code: 500

 ** InvalidParameterException **   
The parameter name or value is invalid.  
HTTP Status Code: 400

 ** InvalidRequestException **   
A parameter value is not valid for the current state of the resource.  
Possible causes:  
+ The secret is scheduled for deletion.
+ 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. 
+ The secret is managed by another service, and you must use that service to update it. For more information, see [Secrets managed by other AWS services](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/secretsmanager/latest/userguide/service-linked-secrets.html).
HTTP Status Code: 400

 ** ResourceNotFoundException **   
Secrets Manager can't find the resource that you asked for.  
HTTP Status Code: 400
