# Revoke a support-access grant > The support_access.revoke operation: POST /api/v1/support_access_grants/{id}/revoke in the REST API and the support_access_revoke tool in the MCP server. Ends an approved support-access grant now, before it expires (spec §39.3). The staff member's next request in your console is refused. The grant stays in the Access log with what was done under it, marked as revoked by your organization (`endedBy: organization`). To refuse a request that is still waiting, deny it (`support_access.deny`). ## At a glance - **REST:** `POST /api/v1/support_access_grants/{id}/revoke` - **MCP tool:** `support_access_revoke` - **Operation ID:** `support_access.revoke` - **Scope:** Organization - **Permission:** `security:write` - **Risk tier:** `write` - **Dry run:** Supported (send `Ownrecord-Dry-Run: true`) - **Idempotency:** `Idempotency-Key` required - **Modes:** Test and live - **Authentication:** API key with the `security:write` scope - **Since:** M12 ## Request ### Path parameters | Field | Type | Description | | ----- | ---------- | ----------- | | `id` | `sag_…` ID | The grant. | ### Body A JSON object (`Content-Type: application/json`): | Field | Type | Required | Description | | -------- | ------ | -------- | -------------------------------- | | `reason` | string | No | Why (shown to the staff member). | ## Response `200 OK` with a JSON object: | Field | Type | Description | | ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `object` | `"support_access_grant"` | | | `id` | `sag_…` ID | | | `orgId` | `org_…` ID | | | `staff` | object | The Ownrecord staff member who asked, as they were when they asked. | | `staff.userId` | `usr_…` ID | | | `staff.email` | string | | | `staff.name` | string or null | | | `reason` | string | Why the staff member asked.
