Sharepoint authentication error "We couldn't authenticate with the credentials provided"
Hi,
My issue was different from the one described in the post you link.
Appartently it was an issue with the Edge authentication prompt. I fixed the issue by changing my default browser to chrome and in Power BI go to Settings > Security > User my default webbrowser.
This fixed the issue.
The replie's provided were not a valid solution. I have the same problem and my company will not allow us to change our default browser to Chrome. We are forced to use Edge and I cannot get past this error.
Same. My organization will not allow us to change our default browser from Edge to Chrome or any other browser. There must be another solution. Maybe clearing cache?
I'm in the exact same situation. I've cleared my cache, cleared permissions for SharePoint, updated my default brower from Explorer to Chrome. I've even gone as far as connected to SharePoint through OData, this worked termporarily and I'm back at square one. Anyone have any concrete solutions?
I responded to an earlier post and someone recently stated this worked for them:
"One other option that might work for this is that if your SharePoint list columms is linked to other areas of SharePoint, you can remove those columns. It's possible that those areas are restricted and even though you're not utilizing the underlying information, it may be preventing you from accessing that data. I removed those fields that could be expanded and my error went away."
You have to use the url up to the point where it says "sites". This is usually the parent folder. Once you used that URL, you will be able to access all files in each subfolder.
