Add-PnPHubSiteAssociation does not work as expected

Question

Hi,

I tried to associate a site with a hub site and keep getting this error:

No connection, please connect first with Connect-PnPOnline

Then I tried to connect with Connect-PnPOnline and tried running the cmdlt again

Same error.

Is there a work around?

This is important for the migration project im working on and the documentation online for this is no existent

Any help would be appreciated

thx,
Luis

Hi @LuIs DP ,

Per my test it works well to run following pnp powershell as a global admin:

Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://tenant.sharepoint.com -Credentials (Get-Credential)   
Add-PnPHubSiteAssociation -Site https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/NoGroup -HubSite https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/Communications  

If you have multi-factor authentication (MFA) enabled, please connect to SharePoint with browser based login:

Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://tenant.sharepoint.com -UseWebLogin  
Add-PnPHubSiteAssociation -Site https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/NoGroup -HubSite https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/Communications  

As a workaround, we could associate a SharePoint site with a hub site in UI at site level and SharePoint admin center level:

Site level:

SharePoint admin center level:
