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 ---

> [@Rahul\_Goswami](#): > > 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//log_out`. You need to replace `` with the user’s Discourse user ID. You can see this implemented in the Discourse WordPress plugin here: [wp-discourse/lib/sso-provider/discourse-sso.php at main · discourse/wp-discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse/blob/master/lib/sso-provider/discourse-sso.php#L222) ---

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’ ---
