Prerequisites

  • An existing approval set with members to revoke
  • Web App paired with mobile app
  • Enough remaining members to meet threshold requirements after revocation

In the Web App:

  1. Click Approval Sets in the sidebar
  2. Select the approval set containing members to revoke
  3. Click the Members tab

You’ll see a table listing all current approval set members with their details.

Select Members to Revoke

Choose Members

In the members table:

  1. Use the checkboxes to select one or more members
  2. Selected members are highlighted

Before proceeding, verify:

  • You’ve selected the correct members
  • Remaining members can still meet the threshold
  • You understand the consequences of revocation

Confirm Revocation

With members selected:

  1. Click the Revoke button in the bulk action bar
  2. A confirmation dialog appears
  3. The dialog shows how many members will be revoked

The confirmation dialog explains:

  • Revoked members immediately lose approval set access
  • Their shares become invalid
  • They cannot participate in future threshold operations
  • This action cannot be undone

Submit for Approval

  1. Click Confirm in the dialog

  3. Remaining approval set members must approve the revocation

Approval Process

Threshold Approval

After submitting:

  1. Remaining approval set members receive a notification
  2. They must approve the revocation on their mobile devices
  3. Once threshold is reached, revocation takes effect immediately
