Problem Area

Getting access denied when I run the following code:

ConvertTo-PnPPage -Identity "ExpenseFAQ1.aspx" -PublishingPage
-TargetWebUrl "https://portal.sharepoint.com/sites/somesite" -PublishingTargetPageName "NewHome.aspx"
-WebPartMappingFile "C:\Solutions\Mappings\webpartmapping.xml" -PageLayoutMapping "C:\Solutions\Mappings\pagelayoutmapping.xml"
-Connection $sp13Conn -DontPublish
-Overwrite -SkipItemLevelPermissionCopyToClientSidePage
-LogSkipFlush -LogType File
-LogFolder "C:\Solutions\Logs"

When running get-pnpexception, I see the following:

Message : Access denied. You do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource.

[X ] Page Transformation: Error during the use of page transformation from PnP PowerShell
[ ] Page Transformation: Error during the use of page transformation from .Net
[ ] Page Transformation: Page is not looking correct after transformation
[ ] Modernization Scanner: something went wrong...

Expected or Desired Behavior

I would expect the page transformation to run without the access denied error.

If you are reporting a bug, please describe the expected behavior. If you are suggesting an enhancement please
describe thoroughly the enhancement, how it can be achieved, and expected benefit.

Observed Behavior

Getting an access denied error

If you are reporting a bug, please describe the behavior you expected to occur when performing the action. If you are making a suggestion, you can delete this section.

Steps to Reproduce

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the PnP Powershell module (allowing nightly releases) to the latest version, upgraded to Powershell 7, tested all connections. I was able to run the add-pnppage command successfully which validated connectivity to the destination.

If you are reporting a bug please describe the steps to reproduce the bug in sufficient detail to allow testing. Only way to fix things properly, is to have sufficient details to reproduce it. If you are making a suggestion, you can delete this section.
