de-authorized

Access formally removed

De-authorized describes someone or something whose authorization has been revoked—permission or access that was granted has now been withdrawn.

A de-authorized user can no longer log into a system; a de-authorized dealer can no longer sell a brand's products.

After the security breach, all former employees were de-authorized.

The hyphen is common but optional.
