Nov 15, 2016O365 Global Admin has no access to recent SharePoint Online site collections
Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that O365 Global Admins do not automatically get access to recently created Site Collections in SharePoint Online? We have a small group of O365 Global A...

You can use the below PowerShell script to get the details of the SPO Site Collections for the Office 365 Groups.
$cred=Get-Credential $exchangeSession = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri "https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/" -Credential $cred -Authentication "Basic" -AllowRedirection Import-PSSession $exchangeSession -DisableNameChecking Connect-SPOService -Url https://tenantname-admin.sharepoint.com -credential $cred $Groups=Get-UnifiedGroup |Where-Object {$_.SharePointSiteUrl -ne $null} $Groups | Foreach-Object{ $Group = $_ $GName=$Group.SharePointSiteUrl Get-SPOSite -Identity $GName -Detailed |fl }
To add a member to Office 365 Groups, you can use the below one.
Add-UnifiedGroupLinks -LinkType Members -Identity "engineering" -Links "alland@XXXXX.onmicrosoft.com
I am sure that the Office 365 Group's SPO File audits are available in "Audit log search" in protection centre [https://protection.office.com/#/unifiedauditlog]. Screen-shot of the audit logs for O365 groups is posted below.

This is expected. A Global Admin shouldn't have access to individual sites unless explicitly granted. This is also true of on-prem, where a farm administrator does not automatically have access to Site Collections.

This is really annoying. Users are asking for help in their site and we have no power over helping them with it.
SO, how can admins assit users who need help setting up their newly created site?

It's the same case with me.
Users are able to mess around with creating sites and teams, and when they cry for help I must ask them to give me access... an the we go into the painful loop of explaining where to click and what to do.
So my 5 minute intervention turns into an hour(s) long jumping through hoops for the simplest of tasks. - DeletedJan 14, 2018Apparently this will all be fixed up in the new SP Online Admin UI.
