    Hi @spuser23 

     

    The error clearly states that you do not have enough permissions on the site to perform that action. This could be a caching issue or an issue with the connection too. 

     

    What yo can do is, delete the current connection to SP and then create a new one. This could be a caching issue also so you can probably log out of the current session and close the current browser window. Start a fresh session and run the flow and see if you face the same error. 

     

    Alternatively, you can try exporting the flow as .zip package and then re import it and provide the connections during the import. 

     

    Please try the above suggestions and check if you continue to get the same error. 

     

    Hope this Helps!

    Thanks @yashag2255 for your reponse,

     

    i've tried multiple times, log out, closing browser, check the permissions, recreating the flow, even with different user and different browser, even with different machine, nothings works, gets the same 'forbidden' error!

     

    However, manually, from the site information, i'm able to join the hub site with no issue at all!

    @spuser23 

     

    Can you please go and check the role assignment on SP? Also are you using the same account on which you have the permissions to connect to sharepoint from Flow? (just to be sure that we are not using two accounts)

    Yes, checked couple of times though!

     

    It's pretty weird, if i'm able to join it manually, why i'm getting an error on flow!

     

    If i try to hit the joinhubsite api url directly, this is what i'm getting:

    I just simply go to 'Connections' page from the settings gear icon on the top, remove all my user conenction and others and go back to the flow and sign in again and it worked! yay!! Thanks @yashag2255

    Hi @spuser23,

     

    I also want to join a newly created sp site to my hub. I have tried using "Join hub site" SP connector on my hub site when it did not require approval (the autogenerated flow). All guides I can find states that the approval flow is needed, so I enabled this and the flow was created..  still I cannot make this work. 

    Will you (pretty) please make a small guide explaining how you have set this up?

     

    /Thomas
