Unblock a user

When you select a user to unblock, the plugin is able to retrieve the serialized signing key of that user from the list of blocked users.

Deserialize the signing key

The plugin deserializes the signing key of the user you want to unblock.

Deserialize signing key

POST /sign-key/deserialise

controller.js

window.safeSignKey.deserialise(this._authToken, new Buffer(this._data.blockedUsers[userName], 'base64'))

The API returns the handle ID for the signing key.
