have you tried clearing out the global data source permissions for the sharepoint and logging in again?

Hi @lbendlin ,

 

Not yet but will try. 🙂 I've tried clearing out the "data sources in the current file" but it doesn't work. 

Whats the difference between the Global permission? 🙂

the Global permissions also impact future connections that you make to the same data sources.
