Hi @yusufshaikh22 I assume that ABC@t1jtk.onmicrosoft.com has Full Control at the https://t1jtk.sharepoint.com/sites/Federal site?

In this case, it might be an issue that is difficult to troubleshoot. Would you be able to create 2 SharePoint-only app registration?

• For the source tenant
• For the target tenant

How to Register an App-only permissions app

• Create a new App Principal
  https://tenant.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/appregnew.aspx

• Get Client ID and Client Secret (on the next screen). Store them in a safe place

• Grant tenant-wide permissions. See full list of permissions.
• https://TENANT-admin.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/appinv.aspx
• Search for the app ID you created earlier
• Paste XML with Permissions Requests:

<AppPermissionRequests AllowAppOnlyPolicy="true">
  <AppPermissionRequest Scope="http://sharepoint/content/tenant" Right="FullControl" />
  <AppPermissionRequest Scope="http://sharepoint/taxonomy" Right="Write" />
</AppPermissionRequests>

Then you can fill out the config\migrator-config.json file with the required information and run the migratory again.

Update: some site columns cause this issue

I have published a new release, in which I automatically remove several pesky site columns causing the Access Denied error.

For now, I remove only these two fields:

• TriggerFlowInfo
• IsolatedDomain

But I suspect more fields are causing this error. I will attempt to hunt down more of them and include them in future releases. If anyone gets the Access denied error, please, share the Lists.xml file with me so I can debug it and see which fields are responsible for this error.
