Revoking a role for a resource
Warning
Starting October 13, 2026, Yandex Container Registry will be unavailable to new users.
The existing users can create resources until November 10, 2026. Afterwards, Yandex Container Registry will go read-only and cease to operate on December 14, 2026. For more information on how it will be handled, see this article on Yandex Container Registry sunset.
You can prevent a subject from accessing a resource. To do this, revoke the subject's roles for that resource and any resources from which permissions are inherited. For more information, see How access management works in Yandex Cloud.
- In the management console
, select the folder where you want to revoke a role for a resource. - Navigate
to Container Registry. - Select a registry or repository in it.
- Navigate to the Access bindings tab.
- Select a user from the list and click
next to the username. - Click Edit roles.
- Click
next to the role to revoke. - Click Save.
If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.
The folder used by default is the one specified when creating the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using --folder-name or --folder-id.
If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions.

View assigned roles:
yc container <resource> list-access-bindings <resource_name_or_ID>Where:
<resource>:registryorrepositoryresource type.<resource_name_or_ID>: Name or ID of the resource the role is assigned for.
-
Revoke a role:
yc container <resource> remove-access-binding <resource_name_or_ID> \ --role <role> \ --subject <subject_type>:<subject_ID>Where:

If you do not have Terraform yet, install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider.
To manage infrastructure using Terraform under a service account or user accounts (a Yandex account, a federated account, or a local user), authenticate using the appropriate method.
-
Open the Terraform configuration file and delete the section describing the role assignment.
Example of role assignment description in the Terraform configuration:
resource "yandex_container_registry_iam_binding" "registry_name" { registry_id = "<registry_ID>" role = "<role>" members = [ "<subject_type>:<subject_ID>", ] }Where:
-
registry_id: ID of the registry for which the role was assigned. -
role: Role you want to revoke. -
members: List of designations for subjects to revoke the role from.Subject designations
To indicate a subject, use a combination of its type and unique ID, i.e.,
<subject_type>:<ID>. Here is how you can designate a subject:Subject type
