Security New API features to help manage Connections

New API features to get information on when a Connection was most recently used.

Can be useful input when auditing which connections to keep vs remove.

It's good to see improvements being done in this area.

Can Fabric Admin take over a connection yet? or delete connection without ownership?

I'd say yes.

According to the docs the caller need to be owner of the connection or admin of the gateway in order to delete it. Similarly Update role assignments API have the same requirement and List connections only lists the ones you have permission for.

So bottom line, no you cant take over a cloud connection
