Hi,
This could be due to users have not synced completely with the "license information". Ask your admin to check on the user synchronization process. or give some time to get this sync updated.

Thanks,

Hi,

We waited some days before posting, thought it needed some time for that exact reason.

Could it be that the user logged in while office 365 didn't yet had the modern authentication and that this feature needs modern authentication?

Thanks!

Modern Authentication was the problem for us. Users had signed before it was on.
We have them go to:
Start>Settings(Cog)>Accounts>Access Work or School >[Disconnect 365 Account] > [Re add 365 Account]

  That is what I thought and experienced, thank you for confirming with me.
  When I disable Modern Authentication and sign in, the sites don't show up. When I enable Modern Authentication and sign in, the sites do show up.
