Implement Log out button

[Rahul_Goswami]

Hi,

I want to implement a logout button outside Discourse. The button should have same functionality like -

1. It should logout users from all device
2. A referesh button which will take user to some url.

Note: Login button will be in discourse, but logout option will be outside.

Any article/dicussion/help will be highly appreciated.

Thank you

Login button will be in discourse, but logout option will be outside.

You can log users out through the Discourse API by making an authenticated POST request to /admin/users/<user_id>/log_out. You need to replace <user_id> with the user’s Discourse user ID.

You can see this implemented in the Discourse WordPress plugin here: https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse/blob/master/lib/sso-provider/discourse-sso.php#L222

Hi @simon , i will need to enable sso for this functionality. right? and if yes what are the things i will need to fill/enable for enabling sso just for logout?

No, enabling SSO is not required for the call to /admin/users/<user_id>/log_out to work.

I am getting 404 error. can you help me?

You need to set both the Api-Key and Api-Username headers. If you are using the All Users API Key, the Api-Username header should probably be set to ‘system’
