Where can i see and edit data connections?

I can see my data connections inside the data load editor in my Qlik Sense App but i can't edit them from there.
I can't find them either in the catalog or anywhere in the platform.

I tried fo follow the instruction in https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-admin/May2024/Subsystems/DeployAdministerQSE/Content/Sense_DeployA... and i tried with https://exmitalia.eu.qlikcloud.com/qmc but it tells me connection restricted or unavailable even if i'm admin and i have every role.

Sorry if this question may be dumb but i really need to solve this fast and understand how to edit data connections

I solved the issue in a different way than we initially discussed.

I discovered that I needed ownership of the data connection to edit it. However, I'm still trying to understand how multiple users on the same team can edit a connection if only the owner has this capability. Specifically, I want to figure out how to manage who in the shared spaces can or cannot edit data connections. Interestingly, even though I have every role in the shared space, I still cannot edit connections unless I am the owner.

To resolve the issue, I went to Qlik Administration > Content > Data Connections and transferred the ownership. After that, I was able to open a Qlik Sense app and edit the connection from the right panel in the Load Script Editor.

During my research, I found this page, which provided additional information to help me solve the problem:
Administer data connections in Qlik Sense

However, I still cannot access the QMC console, and I’m not even sure if https://exmitalia.eu.qlikcloud.com/qmc is the correct URL to do so. That will have to be a problem for another day.

For context, I have the Embedded Analytics role active, and I’ve assigned myself every possible role in every relevant place I could find.

Hi, 

Can you share a screenshot of the QMC, if you are RootAdmin you should see everything...

Best

Ok did you active the "Embedded Analytics" role ? I think so due to the +14. 
this role need to be disabled, and only enabled for users you need to access charts from a website for example.
