How do you remove the facebook provider using omniauth-facebook in Ruby on Rails?

Question

I'm able to attach an account to my users using the normal omniauth-facebook methods. How do I remove the app from the user? Does omniauth-facebook have the functionality to do this? I know for example Pinterest is able to link and unlink facebook from their users. When unlinking is done, the Pinterest app disappears from the facebook user's application list.

Thanks!

You can use Facebook Graph API to revoke access to your application.

You can find more information in FB Graph API documentation here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions/requesting-and-revoking

And in the following stackoverflow thread: Facebook API SDK revoke access

And finally the following stackoverflow thread for an implementation using Koala gem (gem to control Facebook Graph API): How to deauthorize User Facebook Permissions using Koala gem
