How to Show the All People View in SharePoint 2013

There are a number of new features to lists and sites as well as many changes to user interface and locations in SharePoint 2013. In this article, we will focus on one of these changes and walk through how to show the All People view in SharePoint 2013.

There are two ways to show the All People view in SharePoint 2013:

1. You can use a URL copied from your SharePoint 2007 site:

Whereas in SharePoint 2007 site the All People link is shown in the top level site; in SharePoint 2013, this link does not exist. If you want to show it, you can copy the URL from your 2007 site:

http://servername/_layouts/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=0&FilterField1=ContentType&FilterValue1=Person

For example:

http://my2007site/_layouts/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=0&FilterField1=ContentType&FilterValue1=Person

You can then drop the protocol, port, and host sections of the URL, and use that with the protocol, host, and port of your 2013 site:

http://my2013site/_layouts/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=0&FilterField1=ContentType&FilterValue1=Person

For example:

    • Select any group:

       

      • Copy the URL and paste it into another browser. Next, change the MembershipGroupId to 0 as follows:
