The token will be invalidated immediately, and requests using that token will fail with a 401. It is possible to revoke access to the token making the request to revoke a token, but keep in mind that doing so could lose you access to the api and require you to create a new token through some other means. **Permissions and scopes** To call this operation, you need the following: - **Identity and access permissions**. Your user needs a role with these permissions assigned.
