What happens to the application keys created by a disabled account?

When an account is disabled in Datadog, the application keys associated with that account are revoked. This means that they can no longer be used to authenticate and interact with Datadog's API or any other service reliant on those keys. Revocation ensures that any defined access through those keys is immediately cut off, enhancing security and preventing any unauthorized access that might occur if the keys remained active. This behavior plays a critical role in account management and security protocols, allowing administrators to maintain control over which credentials are valid and ensuring that all remnants of access from disabled accounts are eliminated promptly.

The other possible outcomes are not accurate: the keys do not remain valid but inactive, nor are they permanently deleted or made accessible to others. Revocation is specifically designed to maintain security and privacy regarding access rights.
