I’ve setup Discourse and working great, except for one thing. I’m using SSO and I’m unable to log a user out using the API.

I am able to retrieve the user account using the user id, but calling the log out api returns a `not_found` error.

```plaintext
{ 
    errors: ["The requested URL or resource could not be found."],
    error_type: "not_found",
}

```

This is the code below, i tried using the user’s username and `system` still no luck.

My api key’s **scope** is **Granular** and **user level** is **All Users**.

Changing the requested method from **POST** to **GET** returns the user’s details.

Any idea why this is happening? Maybe some config within Discourse?

I’ve been trying to find a solution for this for a while now.
