# AdminRevokeUserSession
<a name="API_AdminRevokeUserSession"></a>

Revokes a specific user session as an administrator. Amazon Cognito revokes all refresh and access tokens that are associated with the session and deletes the session record. You can revoke either a token session or an SSO session, and you can optionally cascade the revocation to linked sessions.

## Request Syntax
<a name="API_AdminRevokeUserSession_RequestSyntax"></a>

```
{
   "RevokeAssociatedSessions": "{{string}}",
   "SessionId": "{{string}}",

## Request Parameters
<a name="API_AdminRevokeUserSession_RequestParameters"></a>

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see [Common Parameters](CommonParameters.md).

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

 ** [RevokeAssociatedSessions](#API_AdminRevokeUserSession_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="CognitoUserPools-AdminRevokeUserSession-request-RevokeAssociatedSessions"></a>
Specifies whether to also revoke the sessions that are linked to the targeted session. `NONE`, the default, revokes only the targeted session. `LINKED` also revokes the directly linked session or sessions, interpreted relative to the type of the targeted session: revoking a token session also revokes the parent SSO session it came through, and revoking an SSO session also revokes the token sessions that came through it. The set of linked sessions is eventually consistent, so associated sessions are typically revoked within a few seconds.  
Type: String  
Valid Values: `NONE | LINKED`   
Required: No

 ** [SessionId](#API_AdminRevokeUserSession_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="CognitoUserPools-AdminRevokeUserSession-request-SessionId"></a>
The ID of the session to revoke. This is a 28-character string of lowercase letters and digits, prefixed with `tkn` for a token session or `sso` for an SSO session.  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Fixed length of 28.  
Pattern: `^(tkn|sso)[a-z0-9]{25}$`   
Required: Yes

 ** [Username](#API_AdminRevokeUserSession_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="CognitoUserPools-AdminRevokeUserSession-request-Username"></a>
The username of the user who owns the session. The username must match the user associated with the `SessionId`, to confirm they are the intended target user.  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 128.  
Pattern: `[\p{L}\p{M}\p{S}\p{N}\p{P}]+`   
Required: Yes

 ** [UserPoolId](#API_AdminRevokeUserSession_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="CognitoUserPools-AdminRevokeUserSession-request-UserPoolId"></a>
The ID of the user pool that contains the session.
