Revoke Authorizations

This topic explains how to remove different types of authorizations from your Selling Partner API (SP-API) application. If you need assistance, contact Developer Support.

Revoke self-authorizations

Self-authorization of an SP-API application occurs in two scenarios:

• For private applications: You self-authorize your application to access your account information.
• For public applications: You self-authorize your application during testing, before other selling partners authorize your application through OAuth.

You might need to revoke self-authorizations when:

• You reach your maximum authorization limit.
• You want to authorize different accounts.

Remove self-authorizations from public and private applications

To remove self-authorizations, take the following steps:

1. Sign in and navigate to the appropriate pages in of the following tools:
   • Solution Provider Portal: From the top navigation, choose Develop Apps.
   • Seller Central: Navigate to Apps and Services, and then choose Develop Apps.
   • Vendor Central: Navigate to Integration, and then choose API Integration.
2. Find the application for which you want to revoke an authorization, and then choose Edit app.
3. For the application, expand the drop down next to Edit, and then choose Authorize.
   You are taken to the Manage Authorizations page.
4. In the Revoke Authorization section, expand Self-Authorizations.
   On this page, you can view all active self-authorizations.
5. Choose Revoke for any authorization that you want to remove.

OAuth revocation for selling partners

If your application is public, selling partners can authorize it through Login with Amazon (LWA), Amazon's implementation of OAuth 2.0. Selling partners may need to revoke these OAuth authorizations in certain situations, such as:

• When they want to develop their own private application after previously authorizing your public application.
• When they incorrectly used OAuth to authorize related accounts.

❗Important

Selling partners cannot revoke developer account OAuth authorizations. Desktop applications use the developer's own account authorization.

Instructions for selling partners

For selling partners who need to revoke OAuth authorizations, direct them to the following steps:

1. Sign in to Seller Central.
2. Navigate to Apps and Services, and then choose Manage Your Apps.
3. Find the application for which they want to revoke an authorization, and then choose Disable authorization.
4. In the confirmation pop up window, select OK.
