Strange behavior in Hub site permissions
Here is the post. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/SharePoint/User-In-Owner-Role-No-Search-Results/m-p/206311
I'm almost betting this is related, due to the fact that you added yourself to the actual group which adds them to the member group on the site vs. owner group. Try adding yourself to the members group on the other sites, or others instead of owners and see if it fixes the issue.
This may have already come up but, if the user does not have access to the site, they will not see news from that site when aggregated to the Hub Site.
However, you can get around that by giving them read access to Site Pages and Site Assets > Site Pages on the associated site.
Disclaimer: This may not be a best practice but, it's one we currently employ to solve for HR-related news in our org as we cannot give everyone access to the HR site, for example.
How did you go about giving users permissions to Site Pages and Assets? Or better yet, have you found another way to do this? I am ok if the user has access to the site as long as they do not have access to their files (document library) as this is where confidential information will be stored.
