Thanks Nikolay. Very useful pointers. Thank goodness it isn't global (UID).
Though am using this permission as a developer the question is from a user point of view who wishes to revoke access, so I'd rather not call this directly or through reflection. Wish the system had a settings screen for this instead. Something the user could trust irrespective of the apps installed. I do see a couple of bugs requests where people would like to deny access to specific security permissions to an app (eg: network, camera, call status, ...) on the whole. This auth token stuff though, falls in a different sub-category and might be quicker to solve. Hope a google employee could comment on any future updates to the account management flow that they might have.
