Hi @Krishnamohan Nadimpalli ,

Thankyou for using Microsoft Q&A platform and thanks for posting your question here.

As per my understanding you are trying to perform data movement between cross tenant applications , but , the pipeline is failing due to authentication error. Kindly let me know if my understanding is incorrect.

• Could you please validate if the connection for the linked service you are using for both source and sink dataset is successful ? If not, kindly check you have provided the tenand id correctly for the different tenant where sharepoint is hosted .
• Kindly create Service principal via app registration and use the service principal key correctly. Also, kindly provide contributor access to the service principal in the tenant where ADF is hosted.

Few resources you can consider to visit : Connect cross tenant resources
Cross-tenant Azure Data Factory

Please let us know if it helps.
