I researched on the net and did not
find a perfect Answer explaining about “My SharePoint sites” . So
Thought of sharing this
I got to know that this is a Automated
process But how does it work ? Why does it not work for some
users And they keep Opening Tickets J
Being a Farm admin why don't we see
all the sites in the My SharePoint sites
This was very confusing so I wanted
to do some more research on this . After Researching what I got to know is the
Membership information comes from the profile import/crawl and the "My
SharePoint Sites" gets updated on the client PC on a daily basis.
It happens that's some users don't
see all the sites listed under My SharePoint sites even if they are a part of
the site.
Add to My links is not connected to
My SharePoint sites it will add a link in the Drop down below My SharePoint
Sites . This is the First thing all the users often try .
So after Going through some
documentation this is what I got to know
For the users that are not
experiencing the membership features of MOSS 2007 (for e.g. My SharePoint
Sites, etc), they were listed in the Owners group on the SharePoint site.
The membership functionality
strictly works for the users listed explicitly in the Members group of the
SharePoint site.
Now It Does make sense and is much
Transparent. The only thing we have to do now is insure the owner of the site
is also a member of each site collection in order for them to take advantage of
the membership features .
As long as your site collections all
reside under the same SSP your My Site belongs to, the membership functionality
will work across the board.
Note : Your memberships will be
updated on the next index crawl cycle
***** How to Show sub-sites Under My
SharePoint Sites ?******
Answer = You will have to explicitly add the user to the members
group of all the subsites as well.
When we Create a sub-site it
automatically creates 3 new groups for that subsite. By default it puts the
site creator in the Owners and the Members group.
So it Doesn't Mean That if you
are a owner you need not be a member of that site .If you remove yourself from
the members group will not allow the site to be captured in the membership
system
