API user

Hi,

I am trying to edit an API user, but there is no editing option.

Can I delete the user, or will that cause problems with the API connection of Marketo and my website?

Does anyone have an idea how I can block this user's access to Marketo? It's very important.

Thank you

Aren't you trying to cause problems with the connection?

If you delete the service from Admin » Integration » LaunchPoint » Installed Services that will disconnect them.

The connection is under a former service provider's email, which is why I'm trying to disable the user.

So you're saying that I can safely delete the user?

If you want to revoke access, do as I said above.

Changing the underlying impersonated user will not revoke access to the service, because the service will just impersonate another user the next time they authenticate using the client_id and client_secret.

Although changing the user may drastically change the permissions of the service -- and you can effectively reduce the service's ability to do anything with your database this way -- if you can afford to remove permissions like this you can likely afford to remove the service entirely.
