API · Discovery DELETE /api/v1/discovery-sources/{discoverySourceUuid} Removes only the General Validation registration; it never deletes or modifies the customer Data Factory or its Azure resources. Removal is blocked while imported Connections reference the source. Fabric Sources must use the reviewed Fabric removal workflow. Requires the GV.APIOwner application role, or a higher role (Owner > Contributor > Reader). Operation ID · delete_discovery_source
