     for your replies, unfortunately I could not fix the issue. Rather the admin preferred to just create a new user acount and that one does work. Thanks for the help!

Hi DM474,

Thank you GrowthNatives, for your insights.

Even if you are listed as the owner, you may not be able to edit a dataflow if tenant settings restrict dataflows or if your account does not have the Environment Maker role. Please ask your admin to enable dataflows in the Admin portal → Tenant settings and verify your role assignment.

Below is the link for you reference:

Thank you.
