# 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 %}

## All Available Commands and Flags

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

```bash
# pf9ctl deauthorize-node --help

Usage:

Flags:
  -h, --help         help for deauthorize-node
      --mfa string   MFA token

Global Flags:

```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.platform9.com/managed-kubernetes/5.9/pmk-cli-commands/cli-deauthorize-node.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
