You can use the DeleteAuthSessionsByUsername method to delete all authentication sessions for a given user(s). A caller not in AccessGroup ClusterAdmins/Administrator can only delete their own sessions. A caller with ClusterAdmins/Administrator privileges can delete sessions belonging to any user. To see the list of sessions that could be deleted, use ListAuthSessionsByUsername with the same parameters. To view a list of sessions for possible deletion, use the ListAuthSessionsByUsername method with the same parameter.
