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

    I am unable to find some site collections under admin page.

     

    https://[tenant]-admin.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/online/SiteCollections.aspx 

     

    I have global admin access even thoung some site collections not able to find.

     

    How i can add myself as a site collection admin which i dont have access?

     

    Thanks & Regards,

      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

    What's the point/benefit of hiding it from SPO Admin Center Site collection list?
