Unable to create Sharepoint indexer

Question

I´m having problem creating a Sharepoint indexer when following this guide: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/search-howto-index-sharepoint-online (using Delegated permissions)
When I try to create the indexer (using Postman, step 6) and run the GET command, I get a response with the code and enter it in https://microsoft.com/devicelogin and everything seems fine, but no indexer is created when I check. Sometimes Postman gets a response saying ”Error with data source: AADSTS70020: The provided value for the input parameter 'device_code' is not valid. This device code has expired.” but I have entered the code within 10 min. I also tried creating an indexer using the webinterface in Azure, but it never gets saved, it tries to save but seems to timeout or something. I´ve deleted the resource and started over several times but always with the same result.

Answer 1

@K.Seastream Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A, apologize for any inconvenience caused on this.

As mentioned in the documentation, under limitation and considerations sections as shown below.

Currently creating a share point indexer using the delegated permissions mechanism is broken. Alternative method, to create a share point indexer is using application permissions.

I hope the answer helps. Please let me know if you have any further queries.
