Problems when trying to scan a SharePoint path

Question / Problem

When trying to scan a SharePoint path, an error message appears, e.g. forbidden or unauthorized.

Answer / Solution

If you have problems accessing SharePoint via TreeSize please check the following points:

  1. Did you complete the app registration with the required API permissions?
  2. Does your user have the permission to search the requested page? (Please note that the role "SharePoint admin" does not automatically have the permission to search all pages)
  3. Has your user been assigned a valid Office 365 license?
  4. Make sure that you have entered a valid path. Does the path point to a page or a document library?


For instructions on how to register the app and an overview of the required permissions, see "Azure AD Registration" in the TreeSize manual.
