Modernization: Apply-PnPTenantTemplate : Access Denied

[brettly80]

I'm having an issue applying the PNP template.
I'm a global admin, I have an app store, I have the latest files,
Any ideas?

Message : {"error":{"code":"-2147024891, System.UnauthorizedAccessException","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"Access denied. You do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource."}}}

Hi @brettly80 ,

There seems to be an access denied exception when the template tries to upload apps in the app catalog. Can you check the guidance in here https://www.koskila.net/how-to-fix-add-pnpapp-failing-with-an-access-denied-error/ to see if that unblocks you?

That worked!! This is an environment I inherited. I checked the permissions on the main site collection. I don't know why I didn't think about checking the app catalog. Cheers!!
