Editing macros: error message

Problem

For some users the edit dialog of a document or list macro shows an error message after trying to login. The problem occurs for the server and the cloud version.

Solution

The logged in users should have at least read access to the root SharePoint site collection in order to perform search queries on the SharePoint List and Document macro configuration.

  1. Open the root site collection of your tenant

  2. Edit the site permissions (in the site settings)

  3. Add read permissions to the affected user
