Data Warehouse Account and Location Management

Description

The new Data Warehouse experience allows us to save re-usable accounts and locations, this is nice rather than having to manually add where to send our files and re-enter all the authentication, etc... but there is a huge oversight here.... there is no way to delete or edit those items once added (as far as I can tell anyway).

 

Old emails, migrated FTP servers, changes to cloud servers where files need to be sent will need to be updated... We don't want irrelevant items to be clogging up the selection screen... even "one time emails" need to be saved as an Account and a Location, but we may not want that to stay in the system as a permanent option... 

 

Why is this feature important to you

We need to be able to keep our systems clean so that reports don't fail due to using old, irrelevant locations... particularly if names are like "Company FTP"... what happens when that moves, "Company FTP New"? "Company FTP New 2"... not being able to remove and clean up the accounts is ridiculous... this should be a standard feature without needing to request it.

 

 

How would you like the feature to work

I think there should be multiple places to access... first, there should be an "edit" button within the Data Warehouse UI for the account / location selected (so it can be reviewed and edited right there, with the option to delete if needed). However, there should also be an area in the Admin area that allows us to manage items in bulk (like for when doing a yearly cleanup).

 

 

Current Behaviour

This is non-existent currently... we can add but not review the details, edit, or delete.

Also possibly related but other users get the notice  
"You do not have access to selected export location.  Please request access from your data warehouse administrator"

However there's no indication of how the administrator can grant access !  Nothing in the documentation link either.

@mubarakd5726232 wow... that leaves me speechless... good call out... yes, if "locations" need to have access rights, that should be included in the Management tool 100%
