6.3. Revoke¶

Example: Here is an example workflow of RevokeFile.

Suppose user Alice owns “file” and shared the file with Bob.

u1, _ := GetUser("user_alice", "pw1")
u2, _ := InitUser("user_bob", "pw2")
accessToken, err := u1.ShareFile("file", "user_bob")
u2.ReceiveFile("file_from_alice", "user_alice", accessToken)

Then Bob will have access to Alice’s file, under the filename “file_from_alice”.

Next, Alice revokes Bob’s permission to this file:

u1, _ := GetUser("user_alice", "pw1")
u1.RevokeFile("file", "user_bob")

Now, Alice can still access “file”, but Bob cannot.

file_data, _ := u1.LoadFile("file")

Alice can update the file:

u1, _ := GetUser("user_alice", "pw1")
u1.StoreFile("file", new_file_data)

This file is no longer shared with Bob. You must ensure that Bob does not have access to the new file content.
