## Syntax {#syntax}

The [`mc admin user svcacct rm`](#command-mc.admin.user.svcacct.rm) command removes an access key associated to a user on the deployment.

The [`mc admin user svcacct remove`](#command-mc.admin.user.svcacct.remove) command has equivalent functionality to [`mc admin user svcacct rm`](#command-mc.admin.user.svcacct.rm).

Applications can no longer authenticate using that access key after removal.

**EXAMPLE**

The following command removes the specified access key:

```shell
mc admin user svcacct rm myminio myuserserviceaccount
```

**SYNTAX**

The command has the following syntax:

```shell
mc [GLOBALFLAGS] admin user svcacct remove          \
                                    ALIAS           \
                                    SERVICEACCOUNT
```

- Brackets `[]` indicate optional parameters.
- Parameters sharing a line are mutually dependent.
- Parameters separated using the pipe `|` operator are mutually exclusive.

Copy the example to a text editor and modify as-needed before running the command in the terminal/shell.
