Notes and Warnings

• Request Body Format:

  • Request body must be an object with credentialAccessList array
  • Even for single revocation, use object format with array inside

• Access Must Exist:

  • Access must exist to be revoked
  • Revoking non-existent access will fail silently

• Automatic Undeployment:

  • Access revocation is automatically undeployed from all environments
  • Undeployment results are returned in the response

• API Proxy Group:

  • Revoking access from API Proxy Group revokes access to all APIs in the group
  • Individual API accesses are not affected if group access is revoked

Permissions

• User must have IDENTITY + MANAGE permission in the project
• For automatic undeployment, user must also have IDENTITY + DEPLOY_UNDEPLOY permission
