# CLI Deauthorize Node

The `pf9ctl deauthorize node` will deauthorize the node on which the command is run, marking it as unusable until the user re-authorizes it. If the node is a part of a single node cluster, or if it is the master node, the user is notified that the cluster is now disconnected. The deauthorization process typically takes under a minute to show up in the UI.

## Syntax Example

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Bash" %}

```bash
pf9ctl deauthorize-node
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
