# `/sys/revoke-prefix`
The `/sys/revoke-prefix` endpoint is used to revoke secrets or tokens based on
prefix.
## Revoke Prefix
This endpoint revokes all secrets (via a lease ID prefix) or tokens (via the
tokens' path property) generated under a given prefix immediately. This requires
`sudo` capability and access to it should be tightly controlled as it can be
used to revoke very large numbers of secrets/tokens at once.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :------- | :--------------------------- | :--------------------- |
| `PUT` | `/sys/revoke-prefix/:prefix` | `204 (empty body)` |
### Parameters
- `prefix` `(string: <required>)`  Specifies the prefix to revoke. This is
specified as part of the URL.
### Sample Request
```
$ curl \
--header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
--request PUT \
https://vault.rocks/v1/sys/revoke-prefix/aws/creds
```
