Refer to the [overview](https://clerk.com/docs/reference/backend/overview.md) for usage details, including guidance on [how to access the `userId` and other properties](https://clerk.com/docs/reference/backend/overview.md#example-get-the-user-id-and-other-properties).

## Backend API (BAPI) endpoint

This method in the SDK is a wrapper around the BAPI endpoint `DELETE/allowlist-identifiers/{identifier_id}`. See the [BAPI reference](https://clerk.com/docs/reference/backend-api/tag/allow-list--block-list/DELETE/allowlist_identifiers/%7Bidentifier_id%7D){{ target: '_blank' }} for more information.
