Azure-docs: AAD: Revoke / Invalidate access tokens

[drinkbird]

• Product: Azure Active Directory
• Documentation link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/active-directory-protocols-oauth-code
• Feedback: The document does not describe how an access token can be explicitly revoked / invalidated.

Example: A client application uses the OAuth 2.0 code grant flow to obtain an access token. Once the user is done with their work, the "logout" action needs to invalidate the access token.

@drinkbird Thank you for the valuable feedback,we are investigating the issue.

@drinkbird Unfortunately currently we don't have a specific revocation API. However, you can set access token lifetime based on your requirement. Please refer to this document for the same - Azure Active Directory v2.0 tokens reference.

Also please upvote below Azure Feedback request regarding Invalidate JWT Token. This will allow the product team to further prioritize it and include into their plans.

Thanks for clarifying. Along similar lines, I'm wondering if it's possible for a third party to disconnect their app from a users account? Will "logging out" have that effect?

@MohitGargMSFT What exactly does deleting the OAuth2PermissionGrant entity for the user do? Will it revoke the refresh token?
