Error of forbidden by Graph API

Posted on by JA-21051829-0
Hello, I'm trying to build a Copilot Studio. Basically, I'm asking the user for input and using flows to store that input in an Excel file. However, for some reason, it only works for me and not for other users. It keeps displaying this message in Power Automate: 'The request is forbidden by Graph API. Error code is "accessDenied". Error message is "Access denied."' What can I do?
 
PS I followed those tutorial on YT about building a Copilot studio and they don't seem to have a problem with using it

    Here is the check list:
    • Excel file is on SharePoint Online or shared OneDrive, make sure the others can edit it.
    •  All intended users have at least “Edit” permissions on the file/folder.
    •  Power Automate flow’s Excel actions use a connection with access to the file, it's better to save the file in SharePoint and grant “Edit” permissions to everyone who should use the copilot.
    •  Flow is not tied to just your account’s OneDrive.
    good luck.
