Sharepoint Connectors Showing Metadata but Authentication Error on accessing files

Hi all,

 

As below, some Sharepoint sites in the org have started throwing this error in the last couple of weeks. The error appears in both Gen1 and Gen2 dataflows, with the same level of permissions for the different Sharepoint sites. The metadata is listed as expected, however when trying to drill down into the binaries, I am getting the authentication error. I tried deleting the connection and creating another one within the same dataflow and also creating a new dataflow from scratch. Suggestions welcome.

Hi @SaiTejaTalasila,

 

Thank your for you suggestion, but as mentioned, access is the same to the different sites.

Hi @cmpq ,

 

Please check SharePoint access you have.If possible switch your access to different levels and see whether the same issue is occurring or not.

 

Thanks,

Sai Teja
