SharePoint Hub Issues - Cross Site Navigation and Associated Sites Not Showing
I have recently had a test communication site converted into a Hub Site on O365 SharePoint. I was then made a Site Collection Admin for the Hub site and another communication site I have been testing...

Your users including you and the other admin do not have read permissions assigned to the root site collection of your Sharepoint instance. If your hub or joined sites are group connected sites you need to add yourself as a member in addition to being an owner on those groups. One of those two things should hopefully fix the issues.

Hi Christopher (or Jason), Can I ask you a quick follow up on this? I had what I think is the same issue, whereby I have registered 2 site collections to belong to my Hub Site, and the nav bar showed up no problem. Now, a couple of weeks later, I have registered 3 more Site Collections to my Hub Site and on not one of them has a Nav Bar appeared. I've tried via the Admin console (as I did it successfully the first time) and I've also tried with Powershell in case that kicked off something. But nothing. One of the new site collections I registered had a green theme and as soon as I registered it to the blue Hub Site it took on the blue theme. But still no nav bar. I've read your post and as a result I've added myself as an individual to the Members group in Site Permissions, but still nothing (I'm also a Site Admin Coll on the lot as well as a Owner). Any thoughts?
