MicrosoftUPDATE: Create Office 365 Groups with team sites from SharePoint home moving beyond First Release
Are there any plans to surface these sites via the SharePoint Admin portal as manipulating via Powershell is all well and good but not a simple task ?
We currenlty have the situation where users have created groups but I am unable to tell who the owners are, this has potential to cause a nightmare around managment of content when the owners leave.
Yes!
This is very frustrating as the SP Global Admin to have no visibility into the sites that are created with Groups. People reach out for support, but I cannot even see these sites exist, let alone be able to go in and support them.
Is there any way to add the same top-level admin visibility that we get through the SP Admin site?
I have to be an Exchange/Outlook admin to have visibility into Groups (beyond the fact that they exist), so I cannot even see who owns these sites.
If site creation is done by default with Groups, and the creation of Groups being so ubiquitous and easy (we found a Group that was inadvertently created when sharing something in PowerBI!), we need to have some stronger management tools available in the SharePoint Admin side to properly provide oversight at the tenant level.
- Hi,
the new SharePoint Admin Center solves that problem by showing all SP Site Collection, including those created by groups.Thanks Ivan!
I went and looked through some of the posts about the new Admin Center and it looks like I have a couple months until I might start to see it.
But great that it is close. I will be eager to have a little easier visibility into those sites.

In the meanwhile, you can always use PowerShell.
See for example https://www.spums.be/list-all-office-groups-with-the-owners-and-members-using-powershell/
