Viewing grants - AWS Key Management Service

Viewing grants

To view the grant, use the ListGrants operation. You must specify the KMS key to which the grants apply. You can also filter the grant list by grant ID or grantee principal. For more examples, see Use ListGrants with an AWS SDK or CLI.

To view all grants in the AWS account and Region with a particular retiring principal, use ListRetirableGrants. The responses include details about each grant.

Note

The GranteePrincipal field in the ListGrants response usually contains the grantee principal of the grant. However, when the grantee principal in the grant is an AWS service, the GranteePrincipal field contains the service principal, which might represent several different grantee principals.

For example, the following command lists all of the grants for a KMS key.

$  aws kms list-grants --key-id 1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab
{
