Deleting an API Client

Before you begin

You must have the Manage API Clients permission to delete Application Programming Interface (API) clients. See General Permissions.

About this task

Delete an API client that you no longer need in SOTI MobiControl. Deleting an API client immediately revokes its ability to authenticate with Representational State Transfer (REST) API. For details on using APIs, see API Clients
You can delete an API client when:

  • Revoking access if the credentials become exposed.

  • Rotating client IDs and secrets as part of organizational security best practices.

  • The workflow, integration, or partner application that used the client is no longer in use.

  • Reducing clutter by removing unused or obsolete API clients.

  • The access token expires and you plan to replace the client instead of renewing the token.

Procedure

  1. From the SOTI MobiControl console, navigate to the main menu and select Global Settings > Services > API Client.
  2. In the API Client section, select More () next to the API client.
    Selecting the More icon.
  3. Select Delete ().
    Selecting Delete.
  4. The Delete API Client pop-up message displays. Select Delete to confirm deletion.
    Confirm API client deletion

Results

SOTI MobiControl deletes the API client and removes it from the API Client section. The client can no longer authenticate with REST API.
