Disable Old Security Identities

This is for:

In this article

Sample Request

You can perform a single Push API call to disable all security identities that were last updated by a Push API operation whose orderingId value is lower than a specified value.

Use the Delete old security identities operation to disable all old security identities in a specific security identity cache.

Request template

DELETE https://api.cloud.coveo.com/push/v1/organizations/<MyOrganizationId>/providers/<MySecurityIdentityProviderId>/permissions/olderthan?orderingId=<MyOrderingId> HTTP/1.1
 
Accept: application/json
Authorization: Bearer <MyAccessToken>

For legacy reasons, the request path of this operation includes the word permissions instead of identities. While those two concepts are related, they have entirely different meanings.

Remember that this operation actually allows you to interact with security identities (not permissions).

In the request path:

Replace <MyOrganizationId> with the actual ID of the target Coveo organization (see Retrieve the organization ID).
Replace <MySecurityIdentityProviderId> with the actual ID of the target security identity provider (see Create a Security Identity Provider for a Secured Push Source).

In the query string:

Replace <MyOrderingId> with the orderingId value you want to use to indicate that any security identity pushed with an operation whose orderingId is lower (older) than this value should be disabled in the security identity cache (see About the orderingId Parameter).

In the Authorization HTTP header:

Replace <MyAccessToken> with an access token that grants the Organization - View and Security identity providers - View/Edit privileges in the target Coveo organization (see Create an API key, Get the privileges of an access token, and Get your Coveo access token).
