- I realized that our homesite isn't our root site. I.e I need to update permissions there and/or change root site 🙂
So yes I have it under control although it was a bit curious to realize that the root site is involved in this also. nlundqvist If you are a Home site administrator, it should work for you & show the global navigation properly.
Is it still asking for permissions or your issue solved?
ganeshsanap This has been done and the app is present. It is when it is about to open the navigation pane I get the "ask for permissions" page. Even though I am the home site administrator.
- ganeshsanap, got it (all set), thanks.
The key being "temporarily"...it should be "permanently", like all the other fluff throws at us micro/small companies with one-man IT departments (and a single site collection) with already TOO much to deal with. I guess making everything temporary is the new path forward (yet another unnecessary and unannounced change coming the all-mighty Microsoft).
Remember CLUTTER? Yep, disabled that pile o' poo the day it was announced...what ever happened to that nonsense? Oh yeah, it's NO more. Apparently people didn't like it much. Huh.
What ever happened to user acceptance testing? It's common knowledge that throughout history, companies that fail to improve their offering based on approved changes, they all suffer/fail. Every. Single. One. To customize the global navigation, you need to set up a home site in SharePoint Online.
Make sure you have granted at least read permissions to users to see the global navigation.
Note: The first time you set up a home site, it might take some time for the changes to take effect.

- We now have it, but there's an issue with instead. Can't view the navigation. It asks for me to apply for permissions. Even though I am the primary administrator of our homesite.
Any thoughts/solutions on that out here?
