Hey there,  
There maybe a thread explaining but I can't seem to locate it, but I'm looking for a method to logout of node-red's admin authentication without having to wait for the token expiration. Can someone point me towards options to achieve this?

This isn't exposed in the UI - although probably should be.

The underlying API is there to revoke an access token: [https://nodered.org/docs/api/admin/oauth#revoking-the-token](https://nodered.org/docs/api/admin/oauth#revoking-the-token)
