Sigh, found it. It’s a subsite off the main site. No idea why I didn’t think of that earlier.
Answer from PatrickFarrell on community.spiceworks.comIs there any reason a SharePoint site would exist but not appear in the SharePoint Admin Center list of Active sites?
Only thing I can think of is that its technically a "sub-site" under the main active SharePoint site, but thats a really stupid setup for MS to do.

Of all the 365 things, SharePoint is the one area I don’t spend a lot of time in.
I have a site that I can’t find in the SharePoint admin center. It’s also not in Groups or Teams.
When I look at the URL there’s no /sites/ in it. It’s an old site and the person who created it is no longer here.
The URL looks like this:
https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/sitename/SitePages/Home.aspx
Normal sites look like this:
https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename/SitePages/Home.aspx
I am missing something very obvious here after an already long day. I get the feeling this is something I’d be able to find in the classic admin panel, but that was removed on 1/1/21.
Just as the title says. We have a global admin that gets "Access needed Ask a Global Administrator in your organization to be assigned a role that has access to this page." whenever they access the SharePoint admin center.
They are also assigned several other admin roles, could there be a chance that there is a conflict?
try the below steps
- Provide a Global Admin user in SharePoint Online license.
- waiting for Azure AD to be synchronized with SharePoint Online …
- login to O365 portal and go to the SharePoint Admin Center.
- then remove SharePoint Online license for the Global Administrator.
- waiting for Azure AD to be synchronized with SharePoint Online …
and now Global Admin user go to SharePoint Admin Center without a license.
- See more with detail at: Global Admin can’t access SharePoint Admin Center
If above did not resolve then you have to contact the Customer Support. Can't access Office 365 online apps
I had this issue. At the same time I had the issue I was testing adding a proxy address that was a duplicate of another user's email. I was hoping it would work since the user didn't have any type of MS license that included email. That user only had a Power BI per capacity license and a fabric license.
Once I removed the duplicate proxy address and synced our active directory to azure, I was able to access the sharepoint admin center.
I don't have a lot of experience with Microsoft SharePoint, so everything I'm about to say is what I found out on the interwebs, so if I'm completely wrong, please let me know. I recently took a job that requires me to create and maintain SharePoint sites for our organization, so I told my manager I needed to be designated a SharePoint admin so I can create the hub site and customize the colors for branding. This morning he told me our IT guy set me up as SharePoint admin, but when I try going into the admin center, I am unable to get in through 365, and when I try the URL workaround it says the site can't be reached. I'm assuming I can't just be a SharePoint admin without becoming a full admin, but wanted to double check here.
Hi,
Thanks for your effort to provide the details with us, we'll try our best to help you troubleshoot.
With your concern that the SharePoint admin unable to access the SharePoint admin center, we did the test and granted a member with SharePoint admin role, he can access the SharePoint admin center without any problem.
Given this situation, we suggest the user try different browsers or the inPrivate windows mode to check the result again.
To continue narrowing down, could you please provide the below information?
- Do other users who have the SharePoint admin role cannot access SharePoint admin center? Please check with other users.
- Please provide the screenshot of the error message.
- When did the issue happen?
Welcome to share any information with us, we will further investigate it.
Best regards,

Hi Gloria,
Thank you for your reply. In answer to your questions:
- Do other users who have the SharePoint admin role cannot access SharePoint admin center? Please check with other users. We assigned the Sharepoint Administrator role to another user as well and can confirm that he also cannot access the Sharepoint Admin Center
- Please provide the screenshot of the error message.
- When did the issue happen? We assigned the role only just recently last week, but the problem may have been there longer off course.
