In plain English
A connected app may be allowed to reach an account or the information in it. Those rights were granted earlier. Revoking access means taking those rights away.

Here, "Revoke access" names the security action that withdraws a connected app’s existing permissions to access the account or its data.
- Situation
- Connecting integrations, syncing data, and running imports or exports

- security action for removing a connected app's permissions
Meaning limits
The term itself identifies only the withdrawal of previously granted permissions, not the reason for it or any further result.
