Alteryx server unable to run flow with error: "Unable to Open archive for zipping"

Question

Hi I'm looking for some guidance with this issue that I'm having. Whenever I run my flow locally it's able to run and run my outputs as needed. However, when I run it through my schedule on server I get this error message:

"Unable to Open archive for zipping: "File Path" Access is denied. (5) (ToolId: 90)"

Is it simply an access permission that I need to correct or is there some issue with my flow. I currently have a formula that retrieves my file path and adds the date to the file name. Then, I'm retrieving it with my output from the option "Take file/Table name from Field.

That would be the first thing that I would check as these are 2 different users.

Does Alteryx user on the server have access to that folder?

When you work in Designer then you are using your user therefore any folder that you have access to Alteryx will be able to process, therefore make sure that Alteryx user on the server also has access to that folder.
