Hello all,

I've got a issue with my flow,

I describe my flow: when I shoot two photos from my mobile device, the flow create a SharePoint folder, then store the two photos into this new folder,

When I launch the trigger, the flow broke with error 403 access denied

Now, I'm not a member of the SharePoint site, I'm able without Power automate to create folders and files on SharePoint

Now, to fix it, SharePoint needs for me (that I'm not member..and I mustn't see every folder of that site) an authorization for power automate into SharePoint?

How can I do?..what I have to say to the site administrator?

Thank you very much for your cooperation

Re: power automate unable to create SharePoint folder

oh @pasquale_p to explain a little bit, Sharepoint has 2 types of permissions, 1 is an acces to the site library to if you are able to see subfolders from the sharepoint site but not the root library that means you just have permission over a folder, that are the second permissions, you can give permission just over the folders.

Then what you need to ask to your admin is please give me Edit site permissions, when you have Edit permissions or Onwer permissions you are going to be able to create folders with Power Automate.
