# How to Log Out a Team Member Using DoubleTick’s Logout API
DoubleTick allows admins to remotely log out a team member from their DoubleTick account using a simple API call. This guide explains how to perform this action using the interactive API documentation at:
[**https://docs.doubletick.io/reference/logout-team-member**](https://docs.doubletick.io/reference/logout-team-member?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
This guide does *not* require any local API setup or Postman — everything is done directly in the browser from the documentation page.
***
### **1. Open the Logout API Page**
Navigate to:
👉 [**https://docs.doubletick.io/reference/logout-team-member**](https://docs.doubletick.io/reference/logout-team-member?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
This page shows the **Logout a Team Member** endpoint along with example requests, response codes, and a built-in “Try It” feature.
***
### **2. Retrieve Your DoubleTick API Key**
To execute the request, you will need your DoubleTick **Public API Key**.
Follow these steps:
1. Log in to your DoubleTick account
2. Go to **Settings**
3. Look for **Developer Documentation** (inside the Settings menu)
4. Copy the **API Key**
> **Note:** This API key authorizes your request. Do not share this key publicly.
***
### **3. Paste Your API Key in the Documentation Header**
Return to the API page:
👉 [**https://docs.doubletick.io/reference/logout-team-member**](https://docs.doubletick.io/reference/logout-team-member?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
On the right-hand panel under **Credentials**, you will find a header field.
Paste the copied API key into this field.
Example format (auto-populates in headers):
```
x-public-key: your_api_key_here
```
This ensures that the request is authenticated.
### **4. Enter the Team Member’s Phone Number**
In the request body section, you will see:
```
{
"userPhoneNumber": "string"
}
```
Replace `"string"` with the **login phone number** of the team member you want to log out.
Example:
```
{
"userPhoneNumber": "+9193XXXXXXXX"
}
```
> **Important:**
>
> * Always include the **country code** (e.g., +91 for India)
### **5. Use the "Try It" Button to Execute the Request**
On the right-hand panel, you will see the full cURL request auto-generated along with a **green “Try It”** button.
Click **Try It**.
This will send the request in real time and show the response below.
***
### **6. Understanding the Response Codes**
After submitting, review the status code returned:
| Status Code | Meaning |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| **200 / 201** | Success — Team member has been logged out |
| **400** | Incorrect payload (e.g., invalid JSON or formatting) |
| **401** | Unauthorized request (wrong or missing API key) |
| **422** | The phone number provided is **not** a team member |
#### **Example Outcomes**
**✔ Success**
Team member is logged out automatically.
**⚠ 400 – Incorrect Payload**
Check formatting or missing fields.
**❌ 401 – Unauthorized**
Verify the API key entered in Credentials.
**🚫 422 – Not a Team Member**
Verify the login number exists in your DoubleTick team.
***
### **7. What Happens After Logout?**
Once executed successfully:
* The selected team member’s active DoubleTick session ends
* They will be required to re-login to continue using DoubleTick
This is especially useful for:
✔ Security/account access management\
✔ Removing old/ex-staff logins\
✔ Managing shared devices\
✔ Temporary lockouts
***
### **Summary**
Using the Logout API, DoubleTick admins can remotely log out any team member directly through the documentation interface — without coding, Postman, or tools.
All you need is:
✔ API Key (from DoubleTick Settings → Developer Documentation)\
✔ Login phone number of the team member (with country code)\
✔ The “Try It” button on the docs page
