# TagResource Attaches tags to a secret. Tags consist of a key name and a value. Tags are part of the secret's metadata. They are not associated with specific versions of the secret. This operation appends tags to the existing list of tags. For tag quotas and naming restrictions, see [Service quotas for Tagging](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/arg.html#taged-reference-quotas) in the * AWS General Reference guide*. **Important** 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. 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:TagResource`. 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 ``` { "SecretId": "string", "Tags": [ { "Key": "string", "Value": "string" } ] } ``` ## Request Parameters 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_TagResource_RequestSyntax) ** The identifier for the secret to attach tags to. You can specify either the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) or the friendly 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 ** [Tags](#API_TagResource_RequestSyntax) ** The tags to attach to the secret as a JSON text string argument. Each element in the list consists of a `Key` and a `Value`. 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 [Tag](API_Tag.md) objects Required: Yes ## Response Elements If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response with an empty HTTP body. ## Errors 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 ## Examples ### Example The following example shows how to attach two tags to a secret. There is no output from this API.
