Hi Community,

My canvas app is connected to an Excel File hosted in my OneDrive for Business of User A, the file was moved to the OneDrive for Business of User B.

In order to reconnect the App, I have deleted the data sources mapped to User A and reconnected the file from User B, in the edit mode everything works perfectly, but after publish, the User B gets the error message below everytime he tries using the App

Error: Failed to read metadata from file source. Response from the end service is : Not Found clientRequestId:

Thank you in advance.

HI @datalearner

I suspect this is most likely due to permissions in OneDrive. The suggestion in this post may help.

If user B clears browser cookies or tries the incognito/inprivate mode in the browser, that might also make a difference.

Hi @timl
I do appreciate your time.
I shared the file, then from the app datasrouce I delete the previous tables and connected them once again but I got the same error message once again.
I will try a different browser and let you know the result.

Thank you in advance.
