Display all the sites a user can access

I've heard many people ask for a place to view all the sites they have access to.  Using the content search web part you can accomplish this and have a page that by using search, which returns unique results for each user based on their permissions, each user gets a unique list of the sites they can access that looks something like this:

The following steps describe how to create this:

Enable the Content Search Web Part

In the Site Settings, under Site Collection Administration, enable the SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection and the SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure features.  These add the Content Search web part and create the JS files in the Content Web Parts directory.

Upload the template files and css

First, download the the code from the following in github:  https://github.com/sregan1/SharePoint-Office365/tree/master/Sites%20Directory

Open up SharePoint Designer and select on All Files in the left hand navigation.  Then go to /_catalogs/masterpage/Display Templates/Content Web Parts.  Copy Control_Sites_Directory.html and Item_Sites_Directory.html here.  Edit the url in these files (where it says "vivity.sharepoint.com") to your url.

Go to Site Assets, and create a Styles folder (if not there already), and copy SitesDirectory.css there.

Add the web part and select the templates

First, add a content search web part to your page and edit it.  In the dropdowns, select the newly added Sites Directory for the Control and Item Sites Directory for the item.

Setup the web part query

Edit the web part and hit the Change Query button, Switch to Advanced Mode and paste in the following "contentclass:STS_Site" into the Query text box

You might want to remove some sites/paths from the query as needed by using the Property filter (e.g. -Path:https://vivity.sharepoint.com/sites/sitenottoshow).  If you want to add subsites as well, make the query text (contentclass:STS_Site OR contentclass:STS_Web).

Map the Site Name to a RefinableString for Search Sorting

You'll probably want these results to be sorted, so to accomplish that, go to your Content Type Hub and go to Site Settings -> Search Schema (under Site Collection Administration), and then search for "RefinableString".  Select one, say RefinableString00, and scroll down to Add a Mapping.  Map "ows_SiteName" and press OK.  Wait a bit (maybe a day), for the index to update.  You'll now be able to sort by RefinableString00.  [I usually also give the RefinableString an Alias like SiteName, so it's more clear what you're sorting on]

And that should be it!

NOTE:  If some sites aren't showing, just kickoff a re-index of the site in Site Settings  -> Search and offline availability...
