Unregistering Existing Consumer
To unregister an existing consumer, you must have the Modify Assets permission or at least the Modify instance-level permission on the specified asset or the consumer (which is represented by an individual user, group, or an asset).
Important: To unregister an existing consumer, the following conditions must be satisfied:
The user, group, or asset should be currently registered as consumer for the specified asset.
You are the owner of the asset from that you want to unregister a consumer.
You can unregister an existing consumer using the Asset Details page.
You might consider unregistering a consumer if you want to:
Suspend consumption of a particular asset (either on a temporary or permanent basis.)
Delete an asset permanently from the
CentraSite registry.
Note: You can restore the functionality of consumption by re-registering the user or asset with the same asset at any time.
The consequences of unregistering an existing consumer on an asset are as follows:
The count of consumers in the
Basic Information profile of the asset is updated.
Some aspects of runtime such as invocations, performance metrics and other events relating to the operation of a virtual API asset running in Mediator gateway may not work as desired.
The user, group, or asset should be currently registered as consumer for the specified asset.
You are the owner of the asset from that you want to unregister the consumer.
You belong to a role that includes the Modify Assets permission for organization in which the asset resides.
You have been assigned at least the Modify instance-level permission on the specified asset or the consumer (which is represented by an individual user, group, or an asset).
