mescwbif Hello,

Please try the filter option when you look through sites on SharePoint Admin Center.
Classic sites are not shown by default, you will need to activate that filter.

Yours sincerely,
Aref Halmstrand

ArefHalmstrand thanks I had already tried that to see if the contentTypeHub site would show up in classic sites' list in SPO classic admin center... and no, it's not listed there, as much as isn't in modern admin center site' lists, even in the deleted sites' list - picure attached.

 

seems that it's just evaporated

 

moreover, today so to make a test I tried to manually create a site called contentTypeHub and after I confirm the default address (same as site name) SPO gets stuck forever in the "verifying":

    mescwbif Try solving it with PowerShell,

    Add-SPOUser -Site https://<tenant>.sharepoint.com -LoginName <youradminaccount>@contoso.com -Group "<owners>" 

    NOTE! AFAIK the site is based on classic sites so it can be wise to check the permissions group that exists by default on a classic site. Probably something like: "contenttypehub owner".

    Yours sincerely,
    Aref Halmstrand

      Update: any PS get or set stuff I try on contenttypehub site collection returns "server exception", "not supported", for instance:

      Set-SPOsite https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/contenttypehub -DenyAddAndCustomizePages 0
      Set-SPOsite : The requested operation is not supported for site: https://ifpredubr.sharepoint.com/sites/contenttypehub
      In line:1 character:1
      + Set-SPOsite https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/contenttypehub -De ...
      + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Set-SPOSite], ServerException
      + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ServerException,Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell.SetSite

       

      regarding add-spouser, I make no idea what the group name would be since it would carry in the contenttypehub site collection title and I don't know how such title would be (I tried to google it to no avail)
