SharePoint Access Request Ignoring Default Group

Hi Stephen - thanks for the reply!

I think the changes made are excellent, but my issue is that when an administrator accepts an invitation, the requester is added directly to the site - not to the default group for the site.

I foresee a few issues with this

• Im not sure i like the idea of all the users being given individual permissions at the site level from a management piece. 
• Groups are used for more then just site permissions. They can also be used for classifying users
• Groups can be given custom permission settings. By not adding the users to groups we are forced to use only the three common permission roles (full control, edit, view)

Perhaps the best thing would be if the great Outlook control could be expanded to include a way of selecting the group the user should be added to? We have tried to instruct out users to go onto the site to accept the requests so they can do this, but I think most of them will not get that message, and instead simply click 'Accept'

Thanks

Nigel
