Using automation with other sharepoints always gives 401 Unauthorized

(0) ShareShare

Hi there,

 

We had to build a certain workflow to create files in a sharepoint in another organization(other.sharepoint.com). We made it on our own sharepoint(own.sharepoint.com) just to see how it works and then we requested permissions to the other sharepoint. We got permissions for one of our users(user@own.com) and we can access other.sharepoint.com and create files normally from the browser. The problem is that whatever power automation we try(sharepoint triggers, create file actions, etc..), we always get 401 Unauthorized.

Can anyone share what the problem could be? Should we request some more permissions in order to use power automation or can the problem be on another place? 

I've read somewhere that our user would need some special permission in order to use the power automation things, but I am not sure.

 

Thanks. 🙂
