Excel Connector failing with Permissions Issue

(4) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 10

Hi

 

I have the consumer license of Power Automate, and have for a few years had a flow running to track emails in an Excel spreadsheet. 

 

Last night I got a message saying that "Your Excel Online (OneDrive) connection isn't working"

I logged in and tried to reauthenticate but I get a message saying "We're unable to complete your request
unauthorized_client: The client does not exist or is not enabled for consumers. If you are the application developer, configure a new application through the App Registrations in the Azure Portal at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2083908."

 

Has something been changed and Consumer users can no longer use Excel Online? My understanding is this is a standard connector not a premium one.

 

Any ideas?

    I am also seeing the same issue now

    The power automate flow shows: Your Excel Online (OneDrive) connection isn't working

    When I click on it to invalid connection I am shown the following message on a new browser

    We're unable to complete your request

    unauthorized_client: The client does not exist or is not enabled for consumers. If you are the application developer, configure a new application through the App Registrations in the Azure Portal at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2083908.

     

    Is microsoft no longer supporting this on a personal (instead of business) Office 365 licence?

    I have same issue since aprox 3 days, did the same and now i'm locked with no way to edit nor duplicate any scenario, and cannot create new excel onedrive personal connection. 

     

    Any way to solve it? Seems a MS PA bug isn't?
