# Revoke access to replicated data for Instance Data Replication

Revoke a consumer's access to replicated data if you believe that consumer instance should no longer receive data in Instance Data Replication \(IDR\).

## Before you begin

Role required: admin, idr\_admin

## About this task

When you generate a new, shared encryption key, approved consumer sets automatically receive the new key and data replication is not interrupted. Any consumer set with a status of Denied or Pending Approval does not receive the new encryption key, and replication ceases.

## Procedure

1.  On the producer instance, navigate to **Instance Data Replication** > **Producer Replication Sets**.

2.  Select the producer replication set that has consumers whose access needs to be revoked.

    The instance identifies the consumers under the **Consumer Subscriptions** tab.

3.  On the **Consumer Subscriptions** tab, select the option for the consumer instance whose permissions you want to revoke.

4.  In the Actions on selected rows list, select **Revoke**.

    Instance Data Replication generates a new encryption key and shares it with all approved consumer sets. All other consumer sets stop receiving replication data. Admins of those consumer replication sets must [reapply to restore access to the replication data](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/instance-data-replication-idr/restore-access.md).
