What problem are you trying to solve?

Focus on the what and why of the need you have, not the how you'd like it solved.

Application teams want to report on backup history/retention and success/failure rates of backups for monthly business reporting to senior leadership.

What would you like to see happen?

Describe the desired outcome or enhancement.

Currently, only one role exists to get backup data - "Project Backup Admin" which allows customers to start/stop/terminate backups, and we don't want to give that power to application teams. Would like a read only role where applications could get data relevant to backup history/retention and success/failure rates without having the ability to start/stop/terminate backups

Why is this important to you or your team?

Explain how the request adds value or solves a business need.

Application teams want to report on backup history/retention and success/failure rates of backups for monthly business reporting to senior leadership. This would provide a self service option for application teams to gather backup related data for their month end reporting to senior leadership for high risk applications and to help adhere to audit requirements.

What steps, if any, are you taking today to manage this problem?

Currently we are running the API from the DB team side of the house and sharing the read-only data to app teams. Looking into creating a proxy/wrapper service to automate this process and send the read only data to application teams.
