Overview

This node operation revokes a GPG key for a specified user in GitLab. It is useful for managing user security by invalidating GPG keys that should no longer be trusted or used. For example, an administrator can revoke a compromised or outdated GPG key associated with a user account.

Use Case Examples

  1. Revoke a GPG key for a user by providing the user ID and the GPG key ID to enhance account security.
  2. Automate the process of invalidating GPG keys when a user leaves an organization or changes their security credentials.

Properties

Name Meaning
Skip Authentication Determines whether to skip authentication for the request.

Output

JSON

  • success - Indicates whether the GPG key revocation was successful.
  • message - Additional information or message returned from the API after revocation.

Dependencies

  • GitLab API authentication token or credentials

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the user ID and GPG key ID are correct and exist in the GitLab instance to avoid 404 errors.
  • Verify that the authentication token has sufficient permissions to revoke GPG keys.
  • Check the base URL to ensure it points to the correct GitLab instance, especially if using a self-hosted GitLab server.
