Restoring a deleted role trust reinstates the trust relationship, allowing the trusted entity to assume the role again under the previously configured conditions.

> [!NOTE]
> To restore a deleted role trust, you must have the role trust's `id`.

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

1. Send a `PATCH` request to the [**Restore Role Trust** endpoint](https://www.vultr.com/api/#tag/iam/operation/restore-iam-role-trust) to restore the deleted trust. Replace `{role-trust-id}` with the id of the deleted role trust.

    ```console
    $ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/role-trusts/{role-trust-id}/restore" \
        -X PATCH \
        -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}"
    ```

    A successful restoration returns an HTTP `200 OK` response with the restored trust details.

1. Send a `GET` request to the [**Read Role Trust** endpoint](https://www.vultr.com/api/#tag/iam/operation/get-iam-role-trust) to retrieve the trust details.

    ```console
    $ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/role-trusts/{role-trust-id}" \
        -X GET \
        -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}"
    ```

    Verify that the trust details are intact.
