Revocation Affordances
Revocation affordances is an AI interface design pattern that places one-click revoke controls in the same surface where an integration or capability was granted, making withdrawal at least as easy as approval. This UX pattern avoids burying disconnect flows deep in settings with multi-step confirmations that train users never to audit access. Immediate, legible revocation reduces long-lived tokens, stale OAuth links, and “I forgot that agent still had Slack” incidents.
When to use
Essential for OAuth-based agents, connector marketplaces, and enterprise assistants where users must routinely review and withdraw access without friction.
