alternative title: inability to _independently_ configure incoming GAN connections across a redundant pair (I swear this was previously a thing) it appears `More > deny` only _partially_ syncs - a _running_ connection isn't actually disconnected until it's denied on the backup as well (or connectivity is lost some other way) I'd argue (mostly for troubleshooting purposes) there should be no syncing - approve/deny functions technically _ ~~can~~ should be completely_ independent operations - but the intent to simplify/remove opportunity for error with an "optimistic" sync is clear, so I'm leaning towards this being a carefully-considered feature to avoid accidentally breaking both links rather than what appears to be a bug when actually trying to in the midst of troubleshooting any comments/confirmation? edit - it appears `More > delete` functionality **cannot** be independently executed on Backups and does indeed break both links when executed on Master ![CleanShot 2024-05-03 at 01.54.56@2x](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/d/9/d9df98639607669c02c696d2971e4a43363564b6.png)
