Sharepoint site access

Hello,

I am trying to access a Sharepoint folder thats located on a site of my compagny using the listFolder action. The url of the folder starts with https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/sites/mysite.

Every time I try using the listFolder or httpRequest Sharepoint action, I get a forbidden answer. More precisly I get a 403 "System.UnauthorizedAccessException" response. I'm pretty sure its not an issue with the path/id parameters because I tried other ids and paths and got "bad request" or "file not found" as a response instead of unauthorized.

For the listFolder action, I enter https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/sites/mysite as dataset and the id contained in the link the Sharepoint's "copy link" button returns me for the id parameter.

I have write and read access on the Sharepoint folder but my Power Automate flow can't seem to be authorized to access the folder

Is there something that could prevent me from doing so?

Is your Flow action using your account credentials in the Connector to access SharePoint, or do you have it running under another account? The account running that specific Action must have access the the SharePoint folder being accessed.

Thanks,

My action is using my work account as connection, the same that I use to modify the Sharepoint folder in a web browser

To get the file identifier, you'll want to use the folder browser option highlighted below instead of using a copied link from a web browser

Looks like it's a SharePoint permissions issue.

You have access to the root site, but the site FIRMA has unique permissions that you're not include on and the permissions are not inherited.

You'll need to ask your SP admin to grant access to the FIRMA site specifically.
