Revoking terms of public user signed in by mistake (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rescinding

'revoking' is the definition.
('rescind' can be a synonym of 'revoke')

'terms of public user signed in by mistake' is the wordplay.
'terms of' indicates one should take the final letters (term can mean the end of something).
'by mistake' indicates anagramming the letters.
The last letters of 'public user' are 'cr'.
'cr'+'signed'+'in'='crsignedin'
'crsignedin' is an anagram of 'RESCINDING'.

(Another definition for rescinding that I've seen is " Cancelling (a law)".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
