Issue

  • When the Sharepoint connector is configured to connect to a non-root Sharepoint site (i.e. https://testsite.sharepoint.com/sites/groupsite), the user sees the following error in the UI as they browse documents from the configured site:
    [File name] is temporarily unavailable.
    The admin also sees this error in the logs:
