Revoke a credential

The DigiCert​​®​​ Document Trust Manager credential combines a person's validated identity with a digital certificate. This is the proof that lies behind a secure signature in DigiCert​​®​​ Document Trust Manager. As a signer, you can revoke a credential.

When you revoke a credential, you are removing the validity of a certificate.

Note

Users with Client Administrator permissions can revoke credentials for all users in their account.

To revoke a credential:

  1. In DigiCert ONE, in the Manager menu (top right), select Document Trust.

  2. In the DigiCert​​®​​ Document Trust Manager menu, select Credentials > All credentials.

  3. Hover over the credential nickname you want to revoke, select the Revoke icon.

  4. A pop-up window will appear. From the dropdown menu, select the reason for revoking credential.
