# Impact on policy after deleting IAM user

(Asked by: username_0 on 2019-02-01)

I have created one IAM User named "test" with S3 and Glacier Permission.

Now with user "test" i created one life cycle policy to move data from S3 to Glacier at every 5 days.

Now, i delete IAM user "test" because i don't need it anymore.

So my question here is, After deleting user "test", S3 Life cycle policy will work or not? OR will there be any impact on life cycle policy?

> S3 Life cycle policy will remain and working as it is.

When you use the AWS Management Console to delete an IAM user, IAM automatically deletes the following information for user:

* The user Any group memberships.
* The user is removed from any IAM groups.
* That the user was a member of Any password associated with the user
* Any access keys belonging to the user.
* All inline policies embedded in the user (policies that are applied
  to a user via group permissions are not affected)

The policy will still exist.

The [documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_users_manage.html#id_users_deleting) lists what is deleted when a user is deleted, any resources that the user has created will persist.
