How to generate a list of hidden items from list or document library list?
Hello,
How to generate a list of hidden items from list or document library list using PowerShell?

Avian 1 What do you mean by "hidden items"? Items which item-level permissions which are not shared with users?
If an user account don't have permissions on items, they cannot access list items either from UI or programmatically (PowerShell/REST API, etc.).
You need to login with Site collection administrator (SCA) account and you will see all items in list/library.

- Hello Ganeshanap,
Yes, we have the site collection admin access.
If you so many document library and underneath so many folders, it is vert difficult to go each list and library if they are hidden or not.
I am sure using this we can generate the list for all the sites and sub sites.

$site = Connect-PnPOnline -Url "YOUR SHAREPOINT SITE URL HERE" Get-PnPList | Where {$_.Hidden -eq $true}See below implementation on How to to get all site collections with their sub webs
