# Revoke Service Token

Source: https://userguide.qualytics.io/settings/access-tokens/service-token/managing/revoke-service-token/

Use the Revoke action to deactivate a Service Token. Revoking a token immediately prevents it from being used for API authentication. A revoked token can be [restored](https://userguide.qualytics.io/settings/access-tokens/service-token/managing/restore-service-token/) or [deleted](https://userguide.qualytics.io/settings/access-tokens/service-token/managing/delete-service-token/).

> **Info: Permissions**
>
> Only users with the **Admin** role can revoke Service Tokens. See the [Permissions](https://userguide.qualytics.io/settings/access-tokens/service-token/deep-dive/permissions/) page for details.

> **Warning: Side Effects**
>
> Revoking a Service Token takes effect **immediately** — there is no grace period. Any automated pipeline, integration, or scheduled job using this token will lose API access the moment it is revoked. Verify that no active automation depends on the token before revoking, or have a replacement token ready.

## Steps

> **Note**

> If you revoke a token by mistake, you can restore it using the [Restore](https://userguide.qualytics.io/settings/access-tokens/service-token/managing/restore-service-token/) action.
