 - roles/storage.objectAdmin
 
+### Configure a Customer Managed Encryption Key
+
+If you want to use [Customer Managed Encryption Keys](https://cloud.google.com/kms/docs/cmek) in the [Dataflow Job](https://cloud.google.com/dataflow/docs/guides/customer-managed-encryption-keys) use the variable `kms_key_name` to provide a valid key.
+Follow the instructions in [Granting Encrypter/Decrypter permissions](https://cloud.google.com/dataflow/docs/guides/customer-managed-encryption-keys#granting_encrypterdecrypter_permissions) to configure the necessary roles for the Dataflow service accounts.

 ### Enable APIs
+
 In order to launch a Dataflow Job, the Dataflow API must be enabled:
 
 - Dataflow API - `dataflow.googleapis.com`
 - Compute Engine API: `compute.googleapis.com`
 
+**Note:** If you want to use a Customer Managed Encryption Key, the Cloud Key Management Service (KMS) API must be enabled:
