The fact that it's not working with the OneDrive Admin Center is mentioned in the official documentation, so I'd say this is normal you get an error: Administrator role permissions in Azure Active Directory

However, I've opened an issue on the docs because after testing on my side, it wasn't working with SPO Admin Center either nor PowerShell.

Best thing to do at this point is Global Reader + SPO Admin role 🤷🏻‍:female_sign:

Hello Veronique,

Thanks for your answer.

Indeed, I missed that point about the Global Reader role. However, on the tests I did on a test tenant, even the SPO Admin role wans't enough to access the Onedrive Admin Center (but probably, I didn't wait enough for the role to fully dispatched on all Microsoft's datacenters...).

The fact that you encounter this issue with Powershell is indeed a problem I encountered as well. I hope this will be fixed ASAP. Thanks for the link you provided ; I will follow this issue.

Thanks !

Regards,

Adrien
