Revoke Action in the Partner Portal
The Revoke action is used to remove access to a connected client account or to revoke permissions granted to a user. When this action is applied:
- Client Admins and Account Owners are able to revoke connection at any time from (Business Settings> Partner Connection). The revoke action applies to all roles and permissions tied to the client's account. Users added through the partner portal will no longer be able to view, manage, or interact with the client's data.
- Partner Admins are also able to revoke connection to a client’s business.
- Implications: The user’s history and prior actions (e.g., created bills or approved transactions) remain, but their ability to log in and perform further tasks is disabled.
For Partners and Clients, it is important to use Revoke carefully, ensuring that any ongoing processes or responsibilities are reassigned before removal to avoid disruption. If a revoke action was done in error, a new invitation to connect will need to be sent and Partner users will need to be re-added to the client.
