Add a security group as hubbers using PowerShell

Today I needed to add a security group to “People who can associate sites with this hub” through PowerShell. Here is quick how-to. I usually say “hubbers” instead of the long “People who….”. By the way, if you want to know what prerequisites there are for being a hubber, read my other blog post

• Infographics. Who can associate a site with a hub

An example of how to add a security group is missing in the MS Docs:

• Grant-SPOHubSiteRights

This is easy, all you have to do is to find out the security group id, prepend it with “c:0t.c|tenant|” and run the command.

$url = "https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/hubsite1"
$groupId = "0b2d5885-158a-4aa1-bea3-cd28f71fcc37"
$securityGroup = "c:0t.c|tenant|$groupId"
Grant-SPOHubSiteRights $url -Principals $securityGroup -Rights Join

That’s it. I’ll try to provide this example to the MSDocs github.
