Hello! We have Discourse forum app that is connected to our app via SSO. User avatars are updated right through it. But our photos are moderated, so we need to clear user avatars on Discourse app side. Can it be done somehow by REST API or by SSO mechanism enhancements? I cannot find this informat…

You should be able to call the sync_sso route to re-sync the user avatar, but you can also make a PUT request to http://localhost:3000/u/<username>/preferences/avatar/pick with an empty upload_id [image] to delete the users current avatar and assign them a letter avatar.
