Solution 1Recommended

Use Search and Featured Links to Create a Sites View

Use a specific search query to list all accessible sites and pin the results to your SharePoint home page.

Since SharePoint does not offer a native 'Member Of' section, you can leverage the platform's search functionality. By searching for a specific content class, you can generate a dynamic list of all sites you have access to, and then link this page to your home dashboard.

1
Search for site collections

Click on the SharePoint search bar at the top of the page, type 'contentclass:STS_Site' (without quotes), and press Enter.

2
Copy the search results URL

Once the search results load displaying the sites, highlight the entire URL in your browser's address bar and copy it.

3
Add to Featured Links

Navigate back to your SharePoint home page. Find the 'Featured Links' section, click 'Edit', and paste the copied URL to create a new navigation link.

Use Search and Featured Links to Create a Sites View
Dynamic and Secure: Because SharePoint search is security-trimmed, any user who clicks this new link will only see the sites they personally have permission to view.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why aren't all my SharePoint sites automatically showing on the home page?

The SharePoint home page typically relies on an algorithm that displays frequently visited, followed, and suggested sites rather than an exhaustive list of every site you are a member of.

What does the 'contentclass:STS_Site' search query do?

This specific search syntax filters SharePoint's search results to only return top-level site collections. It prevents individual documents, pages, or lists from clogging up your search results.

If I add the search URL to Featured Links, will other users see my sites?

No. SharePoint search results are automatically security-trimmed. When colleagues click the link, they will only see the site collections they have been granted permission to access.
