Revoking Tags

When a tag is no longer relevant or no longer valid based on your business requirements, you can deactivate it by revoking it. You can also reactivate a revoked tag when necessary.

In the case of BloxOne Threat Defense Cloud objects where tags having been revoked, the revoked tags will continue to follow the original, defined tag rules configured in security a policy possessing a higher precedence than the security policy where the BloxOne Threat Defense Cloud objects are defined. For example, if the scope policy for tags has a precedence of 1 while the policy containing the objects has a precedence order of 2 or lower, then due the higher precedence of the tag policy, any objects contained within the policy will continue to function as if the tags are still applied. However, the Cloud Services Portal will show the tags as being revoked for the object. If tags are reactivated, then the tags will re-associate with their respective objects, and the policy rules will function for the network scopes based on how the tags were originally defined. 

To deactivate a tag, complete the following:

1. From the Cloud Services Portal, click Administration -> Tags.
2. Select the tag you want to revoke, and then click Revoke. You can also select the tag and click -> Revoke. You can also select multiple tags and revoke them at the same time.
3. In the confirmation dialog, click Revoke to confirm the action. The selected tag is now deactivated.

You will not be able to add a new tag using the same name as a revoked tag. You can however reactivate a revoked tag when necessary. For more information, see Reactivating Tags.
