Sharepoint Homepage with all sites that the user has access to

Dear Sharepoint Community,

 

I have a question and I am hopeful that this community has a great answer for it. :)

 

We would like to develop a Homepage for our users is Sharepoint Online where users can see all the sites they have access to. 

 

I have two ideas in mind:

1. Use the new "Sharepoint Home"

The problem with this that at this point of time that I don't see all the sites on this page which I have access to.

 

2. Develop a page with search webparts

I developed a page with a Search Result webpart which displays all the sites ("Show only sites") and added a Search Box where I can search in these sites.

 

My questions are:

Do you have any other ideas how to develop this kind of functionality elegantly?

Have you faced this kind of requirement before? How did you solved it?

Do you know anything about Microsoft's plans regarding these new "Sharepoint Home"? It is possible that in the future it will have all the sites which the users have access to?

 

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,

Zoltán

    The Home page works if you search for '*' and filter on sites - with this URL: https://<tenant>.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/sharepoint.aspx?q=%2A&v=search%2Fsites

     

    The question is where do you set the "home page" url? You could use the above URL and set the tenant logo link to point to it, or set the default page in the browser to this url. Basically the same as creating your own page, without having to do the creation, just the linking.

      Hi Mikael,

       

      Thanks so much for your answer.

      Do we have a way to edit this sharepoint.aspx page? For example: adding a webpart to it?

       

      Thanks in advance.

      Zoltán
