    According to your error message, you are missing the permissions for the table below. Please add it in the Permission Set and try again.

    Or assign the EMAIL - ADMIN permission to the user.

    If you are on SaaS version I believe you need to change the user name in Microsoft 365 (Admin Portal -> Active Users) then sync back here (Process -> Update Users From Microsoft 365)
