# Delete unassigned access control credential

> Delete an unassigned access control credential. The credential must be unassigned (revoked) before this method can be called. History of the credential is maintained but it will no longer be returned as an unassigned credential.

```http
POST https://api2.rhombussystems.com/api/accesscontrol/deleteUnassignedAccessControlCredential
```

EU organizations send the same request to `https://api2.eu.rhombussystems.com`.

## Authentication and parameters

- `x-auth-apikey` (header, required): Your Rhombus API key. Must be accompanied by the `x-auth-scheme` header set to `api-token` (or `partner-api-token` for partner endpoints).
- `Authorization` (header): instead of an API key, an OAuth access token (`Bearer <token>`) with the `write` scope.
- `x-auth-scheme` (header, string, default: `api-token`): Authentication scheme identifier. Use `api-token` or `partner-api-token` with the `x-auth-apikey` header, `api` or `partner-api` with `x-auth-apikey` plus a client certificate, `api-oauth-token` or `partner-api-oauth-token` with `x-auth-access-token`, and `federated-token` with `x-auth-ft`. A request with `Authorization: Bearer <token>` and no `x-auth-scheme` is treated as OAuth, and `federated-token` may also be sent as the `x-auth-scheme` and `x-auth-ft` query parameters. One of: `api-token`, `api`, `api-oauth-token`, `federated-token`, `partner-api-token`, `partner-api`, `partner-api-oauth-token`.
- `x-auth-org` (header, string<RUUID>): Client organization UUID (22-character RUUID), for partner credentials only. With it the call runs in that client organization with the partner support authority's role. Without it a partner credential runs as the partner organization, which outside the partner endpoints is deprecated (responses carry `Deprecation` and `Sunset: Tue, 05 Jan 2027 00:00:00 GMT`). A malformed value returns 400 `INVALID_AUTH_ORG`; a client organization the partner cannot access returns 403 `PARTNER_CLIENT_ACCESS_DENIED`.

## Request body

Content type: `application/json`. Request to delete an unassigned access control credential.

- `credentialHexValue` (string | null): Hex value of the credential to delete

## Response 200

OK. Content type: `application/json`


## Errors

Also 400, 401, 403, 429, 500, 503 with the standard error body (`errorCode`, `errorMsg`): https://developer.rhombus.com/errors
