An active distributed ledger may comprise an indication of an inactive permission associated with a user device. An entry comprising such indication added to another distributed ledger that is supplemental to the active distributed ledger. An updated active distributed ledger may be generated that does not comprise the indication of the inactive permission. The updated active distributed ledger may comprise an indication of a new permission associated with the user device. The updated active distributed ledger may be stored on the user device or any other device on a network.

determine a first distributed ledger record on a primary distributed ledger, wherein the first distributed ledger record comprises an active permission associated with the user device, and wherein the first distributed ledger record comprises an identifier that indicates a position of the first distributed ledger record on the primary distributed ledger;
receive, from the user device, a second distributed ledger record comprising an updated active permission associated with the user device;
cause removal, from the primary distributed ledger and based on receiving the second distributed ledger record, of the first distributed ledger record; and
store, on a secondary distributed ledger located on the storage device, the first distributed ledger record as an inactive record, wherein the identifier that indicates the position of the first distributed ledger record on the primary distributed ledger is preserved in the inactive record on the secondary distributed ledger.
16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the primary distributed ledger is stored on one or more of the computing device or the user device.
17 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the computing device is configured to determine the first distributed ledger record on the primary distributed ledger, and wherein the computing device is further configured to at least one of cause the device to store the first distributed ledger record on the primary distributed ledger, access the first distributed ledger record on the primary distributed ledger, or receive an indication of the first distributed ledger record.
