Log User Out

Calling this endpoint will terminate a users OneLogin session.

This means that they will no longer be able to access to the OneLogin portal or initiate new SAML or OpenId Connect Single Sign On flows.

It won’t end the session in 3rd party applications that had been previously access via SSO.

Resource URL

https://<subdomain>/api/1/users/:id/
logout

Header Parameter

Authorization

required

string

Set to bearer:<access_token>.

Set <access_token> to the access token you generated using the Generate Token API.

The access token must have been generated using an API credential pair created using the scope required to call this API. This API can be called using either of the following scopes: Authentication Only, Manage users, or Manage All.

Resource Parameter

id

required

string

Set to the id of the user that you want to log out. If you don’t know the user’s id, use the Get Users API call to return all users and their id values.

Sample Response

  • 200 OK
  • 400 Bad Req.
  • 401 Unauth.
  • 403 Forbid.

        "error": false,
        "message": "Success",
        "type": "success"
    }
}

Typically, the following error means that the Authorization header is missing or incorrectly formatted. The Authorization header should use this format: bearer:<access_token>.

{
    "status": {
        "error": true,
        "code": 400,
        "type": "bad request",
        "message": "Authorization Information is incorrect"
    }
}

Typically, the following error means that the user ID is not an integer. The user ID must be an integer.

{
    "status": {
        "error": true,
        "code": 400,
        "type": "bad request",
        "message": {
            "attribute": "id",
            "description": "ID is incorrect"
        }
    }
}

Typically, the following error means that the access token is invalid.

{
    "status": {
        "error": true,
        "code": 401,
        "type": "Unauthorized",
        "message": "Authentication Failure"
    }
}

Typically, the following error means that the access token used to make the call was generated using API credentials that have insufficient permissions. This API can be called using the Manage users or Manage All scope.

{
    "status": {
        "error": true,
        "code": 401,
        "type": "Unauthorized",
        "message": "Insufficient Permission"
