RevokeQualification

Prev		Next

Description

The RevokeQualification operation revokes a previously granted Qualification from a user. If the user had a Qualification of the given Qualification type, after revoking it, the user will no longer have the Qualification, and will not qualify for HITs whose Qualification requirements say the user must have the Qualification.

Once a Qualification is revoked from a user, the user cannot be granted the Qualification until the user requests the Qualification again. Depending on how the Qualification type's retry policy is configured, the user may be restricted from requesting the Qualification a second time.

You can optionally include a "reason," a text message explaining why the Qualification was revoked that the user that had the Qualification will see.
