Connection to office 365 and share point error

[Tobi_Anthony]

Good day ,

I am new to UI path and I have an office 365 paid personal account. I am trying to complete a project using Excel application process scope.

However, when I try to use the read range

workbook activity, I see a connect to one drive and share point button. When I use this I am asked to sign into my office 365 account, following which I get an error :

Details: Provider Endpoint: GET /me Provider Status Code: 403 (Forbidden) Provider Error Message: error - {code=UnknownError, message=, innerError={date=2025-04-19T11:01:15, request-id=6715b2db-9f51-41bc-a14b-9b2215f53fa4, client-request-id=6715b2db-9f51-41bc-a14b-9b2215f53fa4}} UiPath Request ID: 959902930753507039

I have searched the forum for similar problems but every solution I see is for company accounts. Is there any way to solve this ?

Hi @Tobi_Anthony

You see that gear/settings icon on your screenshot. Please click that and choose different Auth type to connect.
I don’t exactly recall the name of it right now, but there is an option to connect via username password like in your case.

It should work.

[Tobi_Anthony]

This is what I see , before I prompted to enter my password which is stored to my browser .
Thereafter I get the error.

[Tobi_Anthony]

Furthermore , I can see from my office 365 account that the permissions are enabled for UI path. However I should be prompted to enable these permissions from a window when I enter my password.

[sonaliaggarwal47 (Sonali Aggarwal)]

Yes the first option. @Tobi_Anthony

You are getting this error via first option?

Please check below link, you need to ensure you have defined mentioned access enabled for your account in order to be able to connect via connector.

Integration Service - Microsoft OneDrive & SharePoint authentication

Additionally, refer below video, should help you:

UiPath Integration Service: Integrate Microsoft OneDrive & Sharepoint

Thank you , I was actually watching a video from him , where he seamlessly connected his account to ui path. I will watch this one again , perhaps , I missed something.

[Tobi_Anthony]

It appears it is the same video I saw a while ago today. I wonder what the problem could be ?

[sonaliaggarwal47 (Sonali Aggarwal)]

Well, forbidden error means you don’t have required permissions enabled.

The option you are using to connect requires below permissions enabled, can you check if you have those set?

[Tobi_Anthony]

I am guessing because the connection failed , I could not grant permissions to for all of this . From my office 365 account UI path only has permission to read my profile.

[sonaliaggarwal47 (Sonali Aggarwal)]

Then that’s the issue, documentation states this auth type needs to have those permissions enabled.

[Tobi_Anthony]

I still get the error , hmmmm

[sonaliaggarwal47 (Sonali Aggarwal)]

Can you share screenshot of the permissions you have enabled currently?

[Tobi_Anthony]

[sonaliaggarwal47 (Sonali Aggarwal)]

@Tobi_Anthony

I still see SharePoint site’s permission and few other permissions missing

[Tobi_Anthony]

@Tobi_Anthony

Are you able to see site’s permission?

I am not able to find it, can only see for fikea, group and profile and email

[Tobi_Anthony]

not sure if this helps

[donfeng91]

I posted this issue last month on this forum. Unfortunately, there is no solution.
I am sure this problem occured from the begining of March. Before that time it worked well.
Now, I use Microsoft365.Activity instead. Of course with business version, Personal version not working.

[sonaliaggarwal47 (Sonali Aggarwal)]

@donfeng91 Thank you for sharing!

@Tobi_Anthony can you use O365 package and see if you are able to connect?
