How can I make a button in my app in which the user logs out?

I am using OAuth2.
I want a way in which the user click a button and it is forced to login again in the system.
Thank you in advance!

Howdy @smartinez !! Apologies for the delayed response here!!

I actually wrote up some examples of how to do this a while back. I hope it's helpful for you!

Three examples of how to do here:

github.com

colearendt/connect-logout/blob/04bdd16d1d481d26d7d101c2e8997a09239c9185/app.R#L22-L28


      
              htmltools::tags$button("Logout", onclick = "location.href = '/rsc/connect/__logout__'"),
              htmltools::tags$a(href = "/rsc/connect/__logout__", tags$div("A div example", style = "width: 100px; height: 30px; background-color: red; color: black;")),
              htmltools::tags$button(
                  "Hidden Logout",
                  onclick = "example_logout();"
              )
          )

It's worth noting that this uses an undocumented endpoint (/connect/__logout__), and in my case, an extra /rsc (which you probably need to remove ). Hopefully we will standardize / document this more formally in the future!
