Connection could not be created due to a connection API Policy violation

Finding something quite strange.

Created environment with dataverse.

I go to tables, Import data, select a SharePoint site as example. I cannot sign in nor can I connect and have this error message

Unable to create an OAuth connection. Reason: "Connection could not be created due to a connection API Policy violation. Policies may be adjusted in the Power Platform admin center. (Session ID: c163fd45-a72c-4fb1-a5ff-d383a2cf6e5c, Region: uk)"

I have checked DLP policy and we have power query, dataflow, sharepoint connector. I don't know what "API" would even mean?

Surely this should just work for dataverse? It must be policy but would like more understanding if anyone can help.

Is the connection cross-tenant? That is a common constraint as part of data loss prevention rules.

Then if you're not a Power Platform Admin or Global Admin, you're going to have to get in touch with the correct person and find out what policies have been set. You won't be able to solve this without their visibility and access.

HTTP with Azure AD connector must be in the Business category of the DLP policy for the OAuth connection to work. Just ran into this issue and had to go through numerous connectors to track down the root cause.

Have exactly the same issue. Unlocking HTTP with Azure AD didn't help 😞

Here's the pickle. I have another environment with dataverse and it works fine. It has it's own specific DLP policies.

We moved the problematic environment to this DLP and it still did not work.

We noticed connections or authentication does not pick up when you go to connection from a dataflow or an import.

We will log a call with Microsoft and see how things go
