+A function also transitions to the `Inactive` state if Lambda loses access to the function's source artifact. This applies to [container image](./images-create.html) functions where the image is deleted from Amazon ECR or permissions are revoked, and to .zip functions that use [self-managed S3 code storage](./configuration-self-managed-storage.html) where the source object is deleted or bucket policy permissions are revoked.
