Thank you so much for the insightful blog post! This whole thing is oh so complicated! We just had a colleague developer quit 2 weeks ago, and everything he has developed has started failing. And in order to make things work, the route is not easy!
- take over ownership of the items
- make small edits to child pipelines so I become the 'last modified by' user
- recreate the trigger schedule, so I become the owner of that schedule
- connections he forgot to add the team to, had to be recreated. I have one web connection that I do not know the link to, and even though I am a Fabric tenant admin, and I have the connection id, there is no way I can get access to that connection, not through admin apis, and (so far) not through the support case
So yeah, developers can never quit the company once they have created something in Fabric!
