access_denied: AADSTS65005: The application 'Microsoft Power Query for Excel' asked for scope 'user_
EDIT: this seems to be an O365 issue, I'm also having this problem.....
I have a user that's getting the below error when trying to run a Power Query refresh to pull data from a shared mailbox on Exchange Office 365.
Googling gives me this but it doesn't make any sense to me:
(the query works fine for me and a number of other users)
access_denied: AADSTS65005: The application 'Microsoft Power Query for Excel' asked for scope 'user_impersonation' that doesn't exist on the resource. Contact the app vendor.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Alex

Same problem
alex Frelis69 dverliefden,
I have reported this issue internally. Will post back once I get any updates.
Regards,
LydiaI have been having the same issue since yesterday - can't seem to find anything useful online.
If this were something that we could control, I would expect the error to say that the action is not permitted rather than reporting that the scope is unavailable. It almost feels like a feature in Azure AD or Office 365 has been removed!
I have logged a support request with the Azure AD team so will see what they say.
Update - when I look at the Azure AD admin portal, I can see an authentication failure when I try to connect to the Office 365 mailbox from Power BI. The source application is 'Microsoft Power Query for Excel' (as expected).
The failure reason is listed as:
The application required resource access list does not contain applications discoverable by the resource or The client application has requested access to resource, which was not specified in its required resource access list or Graph service returned bad request or resource not found. If the application supports SAML, you may have configured the application with the wrong Identifier (Entity). Try out the resolution listed for SAML using the link below: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/application-sign-in-problem-federated-sso-gallery?/?WT.mc_id=DMC_AAD_Manage_Apps_Troubleshooting_Nav#no-resource-in-requiredresourceaccess-list.
I am not running the very latest version of Power BI (I'm one version behind) so will update and see if that resolves the issue, but I don't expect it to.
Exactly the same situation.

About Power Query issues, please post questions in Power Query forum to get dedicated support.

LydiaAnonymous the string says Power Query for Excel but it's happening in PowerBI Desktop ( as well as Get and Transform). The two must be using the same library/api/something.
(but I have posted here with no reply: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/a7eac1fa-93e8-4071-844b-9c44e569cd96/connection-to-exchange-now-giving-aadsts65005-error?forum=powerquery )
After updating everything I still have the same problem... Any ideas?

Update from me - this is also working on my system, but without any of the actions listed above!
Other users have reported installing patches/KBs, or restarting the Power Query plugin in Excel.
I didn't do any of this, but tried to refresh the data in my Power BI report using the Exchange Online connector today and it has been successful.
Is anyone still having the issue?
