Is there alternate "Get-SPOSite" if I'm not a global administrator?

[Takeru_Ishikawa]

Hi all,

I'd like to retrieve a sub-site information.

I have full control sub-site permission, but I don't have global administrator one.

My goal is to retrieve links on sub-sites' pages on SharePoint Online by cmdlet.

I input "Get-SPOSite" but I got an error "Use　Connect-SPOService before running this CmdLet." that requires global permission.

Is there alternate "Get-SPOSite" if I'm not a global administrator?

Your support is highly appreciated.

Best Regards,

Takeru Ishikawa

Hi,

Thank you for the reply.

I'm a sub-site administrator, not global one.

Input: Connect-SPOService -url https://***-admin.sharepoint.com
Output:Connect-SPOService : Current user is not a tenant admin.

Hi Takeru

Assuming you are giving your tenant admin url in the connect-spo service.

I think you need to have atleast a delegated admin access to the tenant,in order to execute it.

@Takeru_Ishikawa If you use PnP PowerShell Scripts, you can connect to your sites without being a Tenant Admin. Not sure what commands you are looking for... but I'd check the PnP module and see if they have what you need.

Hi,

My purpose is to get links on sub-site pages.
"Get-SPOSite" or alternate cmdlet is good because their output have strings including HTML link tags.
My understanding is PnP command is a combination of commmands so it also needs tenant admin permisisson.

Then, I will serch PnP commands.

Thank you,

@Takeru_Ishikawa You don't need Tenant Permissions with PnP. You can connect to a specific site collection and all the sub sites of the site collection.
