    With just this error message, we have almost nothing to work with. So I copied your post into AI.

    Everything below is AI generated:

    Okay, the error "ACCESS TO ODATA is Disabled[RAOP]" when using an MS Graph Poller Plugin strongly suggests a configuration or permissions issue, likely related to how your Azure AD application is set up or policies applied within your Azure environment.

    Here’s a breakdown of potential causes and troubleshooting steps:

    1. Azure AD App Registration Permissions:

      • Missing API Permissions: Ensure the Azure AD application registration used by the poller plugin has the necessary Microsoft Graph API permissions granted for the data it's trying to poll (e.g., Mail.Read, Calendars.Read, User.Read.All, etc., depending on the task).
      • Permission Type: Check if you are using the correct type of permissions. Poller plugins running unattended typically require Application permissions, not Delegated permissions.
      • Admin Consent: Crucially, Application permissions almost always require an Azure AD administrator to grant Admin Consent for the tenant. Verify that admin consent has been granted for all required permissions in the Azure portal (Azure Active Directory -> App registrations -> [Your App] -> API permissions).
    2. Conditional Access Policies:

      • This is a very common cause for access denial, especially for service principals (which represent applications). Your organization might have Conditional Access policies in Azure AD that restrict access.
      • Check Policies: Go to Azure Portal -> Azure Active Directory (or Entra ID) -> Protection -> Conditional Access. Review policies that might apply to:
        • "All cloud apps" or specifically the "Microsoft Graph" API.
        • Service Principals (workload identities).
        • Policies blocking access from certain locations, requiring specific device states, or enforcing other controls that the service principal cannot meet.
      • Sign-in Logs: This is your best diagnostic tool here. Go to Azure Active Directory -> Monitoring -> Sign-in logs. Filter by "Service Principal sign-ins" (or Workload identity sign-ins) and find the attempts made by your application (using its Application ID/Client ID). The failure reason in the log details will often explicitly state if a Conditional Access policy blocked the sign-in and which policy it was.
    3. Application Disabled:

      • Verify that the App Registration itself is enabled in Azure AD. (Azure Active Directory -> App registrations -> [Your App] -> Overview page).
    4. Plugin Configuration:

      • Credentials: Double-check that the Tenant ID, Client ID, and Client Secret (or certificate details) configured within the MS Graph Poller Plugin exactly match the details of your Azure AD App Registration. A typo here will cause authentication failures.
      • Endpoint: Ensure the plugin is configured to use the correct Microsoft Graph endpoint (https://graph.microsoft.com).
    5. Resource Specific Access Policies (Less Common for OData Disabled):

      • In some specific scenarios (like Exchange Online), there might be application access policies configured directly on mailboxes or resources. While usually resulting in different errors, it's worth keeping in mind if other avenues fail.

    Troubleshooting Steps:

    1. Review Azure AD Sign-in Logs: This is the most important step. Filter for your application's sign-ins (Service Principal/Workload Identity) and check the failure reasons. This often points directly to the cause (Permissions, Conditional Access, etc.).
    2. Verify App Registration Permissions & Admin Consent: Go through the API permissions section of your app registration in Azure AD. Ensure necessary permissions are present, granted admin consent, and are of type "Application".
    3. Review Conditional Access Policies: Check for policies blocking your application's access. Temporarily disabling a suspected policy (with caution and appropriate approvals) for testing can help isolate the issue.
    4. Test Graph Access Independently: Use a tool like Postman or a simple script (e.g., PowerShell with Invoke-RestMethod and client credential flow) using the same credentials as the plugin to make a basic Graph API call (e.g., GET graph.microsoft.com/.../users). If this also fails, the problem is definitely in Azure AD (permissions, policies). If it succeeds, the issue is more likely within the plugin's specific configuration or potentially a bug in the plugin.
    5. Check Plugin Documentation: Review the documentation for your specific MS Graph Poller Plugin. Look for any notes regarding required permissions, configuration, or known issues related to OData access or the "[RAOP]" code.

    The "[RAOP]" part might be a specific code generated by the plugin or a specific policy type; focusing on the "ACCESS TO ODATA is Disabled" message and checking Azure AD permissions and policies is the most likely path to resolution.

    it hurts a bit to see that you started using AI. His/her comment was not really good. But I prefer questions which teaches thinking instead of copying AI responses. :)

    so  what do you try to archive?
    Where does this message appear?
    Is it reproducable?
    What steps did you execute until the message appeared? 

  • Hi @ , In azure we need to register an application for Appian to use client credentials, these applications should have relevant mailboxes in scope that needs to connect and also need to have mailbox permissions. I missed these things, so I got that error, I configured now, and the error is gone. Thanks
