    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Depending on the error message you provided, this could be a permission/authentication error or an expired token. When you connect to a web data source from an unauthorized account, the appropriate credentials are created.

    You can try deleting the previously created credential information and reconfiguring it at the screenshot location below, then connect to it and check if it succeeds.

     

    Or refer to below blog:

    If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and let me know immediately. Looking forward to your reply.


    Best Regards,
    Henry
