SharePoint : OOTB feature to display the list of sites that the current user has access





Recently there was a request from a user to display the list of sites where the user has access rights. It took a while to figure out how to get it work. Here is how it was done :

Add Search core results webpart.

To display the all the sites that the current user has access :

In the results query option -> Fixed Keyword Query  add the following :
contentclass:STS_Site


To filter few sites from the the sites that user can access :

 contentclass:STS_Site NOT (path:http://yoursite1/* AND path:http://yoursite2/*)
To display specific sites if the user has access :

 contentclass:STS_Site AND (path:http://yoursite1/* OR path:http://yoursite2/*)

Each iteration would contain some requirements definition, some design, some development, and some testing.

Instead, the application needs periodic updates, as shown in the figure, and perhaps one or more full SDLC efforts to create new versions, as in this example. For some applications, the...

What's new in Sharepoint 2016

Image
Microsoft confirmed that SharePoint Server 2016 will become generally available in Q2 2016, with a public beta planned for Q4 2015. What to expect in 2016? On-premises support will be around for the foreseeable  future. Continued support on combination of on-premises, cloud and hybrid deployments for many years to come. Microsoft is moving more to a cloud-based identification model with SAML and OAuth Nondefault ports can be used for connection encryption, rather than just using Port 25 Site creation is no longer a "heavy operation" but now will be "small and fast" Project Server will be integrated into SharePoint content databases (although you don't get it for free) Microsoft will make "durable links" for finding files so that it won't matter if the file name gets changed or if the file gets moved Microsoft is adding an ODF file saving capability Improved user experiences Cloud-inspired infrastructure Compliance and reporting...
