Revoke an API token

Revoke an API token for a user in Cisco CDO to immediately invalidate the token and stop further API-based access for that user.

Use this task when you need to invalidate a user’s API token in Cisco CDO. The navigation path can vary based on the interface, and an API-only service account may have revocation disabled.

Before you begin

Follow these steps to revoke an API token:

Procedure

Step 1

Log in to Security Cloud Control.

Step 2

In the left pane, click Administration > API User Management.

Step 3

Under the Token column, click Revoke for the user you want to generate the API token.

Note

The Revoke, Refresh, Delete, and Edit options for the API-only user for the Dynamic Attributes Connector service account (csdac-service@tenantname) have been disabled. This is to ensure users don’t delete, edit, or revoke the API tokens for this API account, which is required for the Dynamic Attributes Connector functionality.

The selected user’s API token is revoked. Subsequent API requests using that token are rejected.
