# Revoke a membership token

__Beta__ Revokes a membership token accepted into a share group. Members with `revoked` status immediately lose access to shared images, and can't deploy them anymore.

- Run the [List share groups](ref:get-sharegroups) operation to get the `id` you should use as the `(sharegroupId)` path parameter that identifies an existing share group.

- Run the [List members by share group](ref:get-sharegroup-members) operation to get the `token_uuid` for a current group member. After revoking a membership, you can run this operation to check its status.

> 📘
>
> This operation is in Beta and available from the `v4beta` URL.


**Permissions and scopes**

To call this operation, you need the following:

- **OAuth scopes**. Your user needs these scopes assigned. [Learn more](https://techdocs.akamai.com/linode-api/reference/get-started#oauth).

  - Scopes: `images:read_write`


**CLI**

```shell
linode-cli image-sharegroups member-delete 123 abc123
```
