Get-PnPList : The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden

[ellan1537]

If I connect to the OneDrive site using "connect-pnponline" command and try to do the "Get-PnpList" then I get the "Get-PnPList : The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden" error.

But if I connect to SharePoint sites, then the "Get-PnpList" command works fine.

What can I do to get rid of this forbidden error?

$SiteURL = "https://xxxxxx-my.sharepoint.com/personal/xxxxxx"
$ListName= "Documents"

$List = Get-PnPList -Identity $ListName

Hi @ellan1537,

the "Get-PnPList : The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden" error typically points to a permission issue.

Here are the steps to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Verify your credentials:
   Ensure that the provided URL and credentials are accurate. It's possible that you unintentionally used credentials from another tenant, leading to this error.
2. Check access to the site: Confirm your access to the site by navigating to it directly. Even if you have Tenant Admin or SharePoint Online Administrator roles, explicit addition to the site may be required.
3. Review site lock status:
   Check if the site is in a locked state.
4. Consider network and device compliance:
   Ensure you are in your organization's network with a compliant device according to tenant conditional access policies.
5. Credential type matters: When passing credentials, make sure they are of type "SharePointOnlineCredentials".

If you are using app permissions with a Registered App in Azure AD, ensure that the app has been granted all necessary SharePoint-related permissions.

Although my account has full access to OneDrive and SharePoint sites, my account has been blocked from running Pnp Powershell for OneDrive. With the help of internal teams, my issue has been resolved.
