Reviewing and revoking authorization of Apps

You may authorize a App to give the app permission to access information on your account and to act on your behalf. For more information, see Authorizing Apps.

You should periodically review the Apps that you have authorized. If you no longer use an app, consider revoking your authorization for that app.

The authorization can only be revoked by the person who authorized the App. Organization owners cannot revoke App authorizations for their organization members. However, organization owners can uninstall the App from their organization, which will prevent the app from accessing organization-owned resources. For more information, see Reviewing and modifying installed Apps.
