How to Restore a Deleted Policy

Restoring a deleted policy reinstates it along with its permission rules. This is useful when a policy was deleted by mistake or when you need to recover permission configurations.

This guide explains how to restore a previously deleted policy using the Vultr API.

1. Send a PATCH request to the Restore Policy endpoint to restore the deleted policy. Replace {policy-id} with the id of the deleted policy.

   CONSOLE

   Copy

   $ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/policies/{policy-id}/restore" \
       -X PATCH \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}"

   A successful restoration returns an HTTP 202 Accepted response.

2. Send a GET request to the Read Policy endpoint to retrieve the policy details.

   CONSOLE

   Copy

   $ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/policies/{policy-id}" \
       -X GET \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}"
