Fabric Connections

Which user roles or permissions, if any, when granted, can view a connection of an owner that has not shared a given connection in manage connections and gateways?

    Hello P_work,

     

    As of now, it is not possible to view a connection that hasn’t been shared with you, even if you are an admin. The owner must manually share the connection via the "Manage users" option.

     

    Only users who have been explicitly granted access to a connection can view or use it in "Manage connections and gateways". This includes:

    • Owner: Full access and management rights.

    • User: Can use the connection but not share it.

    • User with resharing: Can use and re-share the connection.

    Even Fabric Admins or Tenant Admins cannot see a connection unless it has been explicitly shared with them. There is no implicit visibility granted by administrative roles. The connection must be shared manually via the "Manage users" option by the owner.

    Hope it can help you ! 

    Best regards,

    Antoine
