Description: Currently, only the connection owner can delete a Cloud Connection in Fabric / Power BI. Even tenant admins or Fabric capacity admins do not have permission to remove, reassign, or take ownership of connections they didn’t create. This limitation causes several operational and governance challenges: When a user leaves the organization, their personal cloud connections become orphaned and cannot be deleted. Admins cannot clean up unused or stale connections, leading to clutter and confusion. Governance policies cannot be fully enforced, as there’s no way to centrally manage ownership or lifecycle of connections. It increases dependency on individual users rather than service principals or admin accounts. Proposed Enhancement: Enable Fabric Admins / Power BI Tenant Admins to: View all cloud connections across the tenant, regardless of ownership. Delete or transfer ownership of connections to another user, group, or service principal. (Optional) Bulk manage connections via Admin APIs or the Fabric Admin Portal, including audit and export capabilities. These capabilities should align with existing admin rights for datasets, workspaces, and gateways, ensuring consistent governance control. Benefits: Prevent orphaned or stale connections. Simplify tenant clean-up and governance. Enhance compliance and lifecycle management. Reduce dependency on individual user accounts. Align Cloud Connections with the existing Power BI admin model (datasets, gateways, capacities). Category: Admin & Governance / Data Connectivity
