It's listed or it's not listed? I can confirm I cannot see any communication site I have created in the SPO Admin Center so it seems Communication sites are following the same pattern we now for Modern Team Sites or Office 365 Video Channels: Site Collections are hiddeen in the SPO Admin Center and the way to discover then is by means of PowerShell...something that will change in the future AFAIK

    Hi,

    You can achieve this through using PowerShell - check the 

    Add-PnPSiteCollectionAdmin cmdlet (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/sharepoint-pnp/add-pnpsitecollectionadmin?view=sharepoint-ps)

     

    Also I believe the new Central Admin for SharePoint shows Communication sites and other O365 Group-based sites - its currently in beta/early release, and I think the full release is imminent

     

    thanks

      Or you can just simply use the new Admin Center (still in preview) to see an manage all your sites: classic, modern and communication sites
