disauthorize
Remove official sanction
To disauthorize is to revoke or withdraw authority from someone or something previously authorized.
A company might disauthorize an employee's access to accounts, or a government might disauthorize a previously approved program.
The word appears mainly in bureaucratic and technical contexts: The system automatically disauthorizes expired credentials.
