When users enable the customer-managed key capability on their Azure App Configuration instance, they control the service’s ability to access their sensitive information. The managed key serves as a root encryption key. Users can revoke their App Configuration instance’s access to their managed key by changing their key vault access policy. When this access is revoked, App Configuration will lose the ability to decrypt user data within one hour. At this point, the App Configuration instance will forbid all access attempts. This situation is recoverable by granting the service access to the managed key once again. Within one hour, App Configuration will be able to decrypt user data and operate under normal conditions.
