File Download issue "Needs permission to download."

Hi Guys,

I'm encountering an issue with a Power Automate Desktop flow where I'm trying to download a file from a website. Every time I run the bot, I get a message saying, "Needs permission to download." However, I can download the file manually without any problems. This issue only occurs when the bot runs.

 

Any help is much appreciated
