The normal classic Team sites once created are listed on

But now when Someone not me, creates a new Modern Team site which is connected to Office 365 group. These sites are not listed on SiteCollections.aspx page, as well as PowerShell command, does not bring them. So where on UI or command I can find them?

I came across this limitation in the following use case

Use case: I am a SharePoint Online Admin, one of the Manager might have created a Modern Team site. now a request came to me to provide access permissions on this particular site for some user. I could nowhere find this Modern Site(then eventually assuming it exists I fired Set-SpoSite command and set the user as owner, and it worked).

If it was a classic site I would have found it on SiteCollections.aspx page, select it and manage owners from ribbon.

Get-SPOSite will return modern sites along with the others. Modern sites will have a Template property of "GROUP#0".

So, to run a command that finds modern sites, add a filter on the Template property:

 get-sposite -Limit All | where { $_.Template -eq "GROUP#0"} | ft -Property Url,Template

Note: One must have latest SharePoint Online Management Shell installed on his/her machine, i.e. 16.0.6323.1200. You can find it here

  • In Connect-SPOService command do you put SP Admin url? I checked with Get-SPOSite cmd unfortunately it does not return Modern Sites.

  • Yep, admin URL. When I run it on my tenant I can see all sorts of Modern sites.

  • Ok cool.. I got the problem. I was having older version of SharePoint Online Management Shell i.e. 16.0.4915.1200. On installing the latest 16.0.6323.1200 version it worked perfect.

    You can update your answer with a Note, that latest SPO management shell is must.

  • Just to add that I think if you are the SharePoint Admin only then you probably wont get Office 365 groups (modern site) as it requires exchange level privileges.
