Hi Thomas, thanks for your feedback. That definitely sounds confusing! Our intention with Platform connections/Platform assets catalog is that even users with "viewer" role can access and use the connections. We'll need to take a look at your use case and see if that is a bug or by design.
The issue with publishing quick scan results is a bit puzzling, I wanted to double check whether you meant that connection name already exists in the catalog? Regardless, we should certainly go a step beyond documentation and provide users with an error message that explains this in context.

Subject: 4. π After you've chosen your connection type, how is your experience creating it? π
Creating Platform Connections can be confusing sometimes, e.g. if your userid does not have editor role in the Platform Assets catalog there can be issues, e.g. connection will not show up in the connection pull down when doing a Quick Scan discovery. Another issue is a publish of quick scan result to catalog might fail if connection of same name does not exist in the catalog, this gotcha is buried in the documentation and not obvious to users.
