# Force disable connection

`POST /authorizations/{authorizationId}/disable`

Manually force the specified connection to become disabled. This should only be used for testing a reconnect flow, and never used on production connections.
Will trigger a disconnect as if it happened naturally, and send a [`CONNECTION_BROKEN` webhook](/docs/webhooks#webhooks-connection_broken) for the connection.

This endpoint is available on test keys. If you would like it enabled on production keys as well, please contact support as it is disabled by default.

## Path parameters

- `authorizationId` string, uuid, required — Unique identifier for the connection (brokerage_authorization_id). This is the UUID used to reference the connection in SnapTrade.

## Query parameters

- `userId` string, required — SnapTrade User ID. This is chosen by the API partner and can be any string that is a) unique to the user, and b) immutable for the user. It is recommended to NOT use email addresses for this property because they are usually not immutable.
- `userSecret` string, required — SnapTrade User Secret. This is a randomly generated string and should be stored securely. If compromised, please rotate it via the [rotate user secret endpoint](/reference/Authentication/Authentication_resetSnapTradeUserSecret).

## Response `200`

OK

- BrokerageAuthorizationDisabledConfirmation — Confirmation that the connection has been disabled.
  - `detail` string — Connection disabled confirmation

## Other responses

- `401` — Unauthorized, invalid credentials for this resource
- `402` — Unable to sync with brokerage account because the connection is disabled.
- `403` — Customer or user does not have access to this feature
- `404` — The requested resource does not exist.
