Hi,

 

I'm working with a synchronized SharePoint on my computer (meaning the SharePoint folders are synchronized locally on the computer). Files need to be deleted from this computer from time to time. But when I try to delete them, I get an error saying I don't have access to the file. How can I fix this?

PS1: The user has full control over this folder.
PS2: No files in that folder are being used by anyone else.

Can you provide more information:

  • Are you using OOTB Sharepoint package or some other approach
  • Are you testing using attended licence, unattended licence, or as bot creator licence

Hi Midna,

In the absence of any further information, let me highlight one possible cause…

If you are using the Sharepoint action package, that uses an authentication action that utilises oAuth credentials. The logged in user’s credentials and permissions are irrelevant, the actions are executed based on the permissions set for the oAuth application. Ensure that the oAuth configuration allows the actions you are trying to perform.
