Deleting Access Tokens

Deleting an access token permanently removes the entry for the access token (that is, it removes the asset instance for the access token from the CentraSite's object database). Deleting an access token does not remove the API asset that is associated with it.

When you delete an API key, CentraSite removes an entry for the API key (that is, it removes the instance of the API key asset from CentraSite's object database). Also note that:

You could delete an access token only if it is already revoked.

You cannot delete an access token that is in the Pending mode (for example, awaiting a renew approval).

You must be a user with Manage Assets permission to delete the access token (that is, available as the API Key asset or the OAuth2 Client asset in CentraSite).

An API Provider and users with the appropriate permissions can delete access tokens.

To delete access tokens

1. In CentraSite Business UI, access the Advanced Search panel in one of the following ways:

Click the Browse link in the upper-left corner of the menu bar.

Click the Search icon next to the Scope list. The default search scope is Assets.

This displays a list of assets for which you have View permission in the Search Results page.

2. In the Additional Search Criteria list, select Asset Types.

3. To search for the access tokens, click Choose.

4. In the Choose Asset Types dialog box, select the Assets option button, and then follow these steps:

a. Click the chevron next to Assets option button.

b. In the displayed list of asset types, select API Key or OAuth2 Client.

c. Click OK.

5. In the displayed list of API keys or OAuth 2.0 access tokens, select the check box for one access token, or select the check boxes for multiple access tokens you want to delete.

6. On the actions bar of the Search Results page, click the Delete icon.

You can also delete a single access token from the actions bar of that particular Access Token Details page.

7. Click Yes in the confirmation dialog box.

The selected access tokens are permanently removed from the CentraSite Registry Repository.
