# DisconnectUser (Publish)


Disconnects another viewer from the Chat room. Use this in conjunction with the CreateChatToken flow to implement time-based or permanent user bans. For example, to permanently ban a user (viewer), precede this operation with a call to your application service, to prevent the application service from creating another token to the same room. To lift the ban (time- or logic-based), simply resume calling CreateChatToken.
