# Kick API

> Reference the Kick API for removing users from a channel or server.

The game server uses `/api2/viv_adm_user_kick.php` to drop (also known as "kick") a specific user from a channel or a server.

> **Note:**
>
> Kicking a user from a server disconnects the user from the server and every channel they are in.

Use the following parameters to perform a kick action:

* `access_token`: The [access token](./kick-access-token) with specified claims for this action.

* `auth_token`: The token that `viv_signin.php` returns.

  > **Note:**
  >
  > The Kick API can use the auth\_token parameter in place of the userid and pwd parameters. For more information, see [Login API](../login-api).

* `chan_uri`: The URI of the service from which the user is being kicked: either a [channel URI](../uri/channel-uri) or a special service URI (the issuer plus "-service").

* `user_uri`: The URI of the user who is being kicked.

* `mode` - Use kick for this action
