Question

Can a primary account holder revoke a secondary user's ability to share data from an account, using the permission dashboard?

Answer

Yes. Using the permission dashboard the primary account holder can withdraw or 'opt out' the secondary user instruction at any time to effectively disable the secondary user's ability to share data from the account.

Where an account has a secondary user, the secondary user can share data from that account only if the account holder provides a secondary user instruction. The secondary user cannot share data from the account by default. The primary account holder has to 'opt in' the secondary user to be able to share data.
