Test stored provider access, replace credentials without interrupting events, and remove obsolete keys.

Best for: Enterprise administrators, security teams, and incident responders.

Before you start

Requires BYOK entitlement and administrative permission; changing credentials can affect every event/team in the organization.

  • Sign in with an individual account in the correct organization.
  • Confirm your role permits the requested change.
  • Record the current state and intended owner before making a production-impacting change.

Step by step

  1. Inventory dependencies. List scheduled/live events using Azure or Google and identify fallback.
  2. Validate current state. Use built-in verification and a non-production event test; never reveal the stored secret.
  3. Plan the window. Avoid rotation during active events unless responding to compromise.
  4. Create replacement credentials. Apply minimum permissions and validate in the cloud provider.
  5. Replace in 4All. Enter/import replacement values, run live verification, and save.
  6. Test end to end. Run speech/translation preflight and known-phrase tests.
  7. Revoke old credentials. Only after 4All success and any other dependency migration.
  8. Remove when BYOK ends. Switch events to an approved alternative, remove stored credentials through the supported UI, revoke cloud keys, and document completion.

What success looks like: The requested change is applied to the intended organization, is visible after refresh, and grants no more access than required.

Check your setup

  • Only the intended current credential works, events use the approved provider path, and obsolete cloud keys are revoked.

Troubleshooting

Rotation breaks events

Switch to documented fallback, restore a still-valid prior key if policy allows, then diagnose region/IAM/API.

Verification passes but event fails

Check model/region, event provider, language, quota, and runtime API requirements.

Cannot remove

Confirm no policy/permission restriction and escalate without exposing secret material.

Security and operational notes

  • Treat credential rotation as an organization-wide production change.
  • During suspected compromise, prioritize containment and audit review.
  • Never include secret values in evidence.
