PnP pws sensitive labels for SharePoint sites

Question

I have assigned sensitivity labels to SharePoint sites during their creation, and these labels are visible in the SharePoint admin center. However, when I use the Get-PnPTenantSite command from the PnP PowerShell module, the SensitivityLabel property in the output is consistently empty.

How can I retrieve the sensitivity label assigned to a SharePoint site using PnP pws?

Hi @Ahmid Zadhli
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A Forum. 

I understand your frustration with the SensitivityLabel property in Get-PnPTenantSite not being reliably populated when retrieving all sites in bulk. This is a known issue in the PnP PowerShell module [BUG] Get-PnPTenantSite not getting SensitivityLabel property when getting all sites · Issue #1623 · pnp/powershell

Please make sure that you completely understand the risk before retrieving any suggestions from the above link 

However, when you query a specific site using the -Identity parameter, the label is often returned correctly: 

Get-PnPTenantSite -Identity "https://yourtenant.sharepoint.com/sites/yoursite"

Your scenario is similar to the one discussed in this article, which explains how to get the sensitivity label assigned to a site. How to get the sensitivity label assigned to the Site? - Microsoft Q&A 

I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
