As Tenant Admins we need to be able to see/edit/remove any connections setup within the Tenant and not just those which have been shared.
We also need to set permissions on the tenant as to which Entra groups are allowed to create connections.
We cannot currently control the connections and perform house keeping on connections not shared in the tenant.
Too many connections are being setup by users which are duplicates or should not have been setup in the place.

While we're on the topic of connections. Change the UI when connecting to a new source so that first option is to select an existing connection instead of having to enter the connection details and THEN seeing a list of matching connections.
