Hello  
When declaring external reflection ([Dremio](https://docs.dremio.com/software/sql-reference/sql-commands/acceleration/#external-reflections)), the reflection does not appear in UI control panel section.  
Also it does not appear in source\_dataset\_path, reflection tab.

Is it normal ? for me it is a lack that can create inconsistence.

Yes, that’s normal. However, you can query them through sys.reflections.

We use delegation in Dremio EE, and my account is not an admin so I can’t query Sys.reflections.  
Also, though I got privilege to manage reflections through control panel, I truly consider this UI for reflection should display external reflection as the information is un Sys.reflection table.

I can’t agree with you more. I logged an internal enhancement request for exposing external reflections in the reflection summary UI.
