If a user is deleted, deactivated, or removed from Admin team, are API keys deactivated?

I think the answer is no, but I need to confirm. 

Previous colleagues created some API keys for integrations into various business systems (ex. Snowflake, Tableau, etc). They have not logged-in as an Admin in Control for 3+ years. We’ve kept them active as a seat on our team because we thought they needed access for those integrations. But it turns out the ETL pipelines are just using the API keys created by that user. 

Will deleting, deactivating, and/or removing from the Admin team impact the API keys created?

Yep, just got it confirmed - API keys are in no way linked to the users that created them.

Hey @DannyPancratz - I’m also nearly 100% sure that API keys aren’t linked to the user that created them, but I’m double / triple-checking for you just in case.  :)
