The INVALID_SESSION_ID error occurs due to API Access Control settings restricting API access for Visualforce pages. To resolve this issue, update the API Access Control settings as follows:
- For admin-approved users, limit API access to only allowlisted connected apps → Keep this enabled (already enabled in your org, which is why you encounter this error).
- Allow Visualforce pages to access APIs → Enable this setting.
Once this configuration is applied, users should no longer encounter the INVALID_SESSION_ID error when downloading files.
Follow these steps:
- Click the Gear Icon and select Setup.
- In the Quick Find box, search for API Access Control and open it.
3. Click the Edit button.
4. Check the Allow Visualforce pages to access APIs checkbox and click Save.
