SharePoint Access Requests Settings
MicrosoftHi all,
I helped make this improvement happen so if you have any questions, hit me :) Message center post may have expired unfortunately but the documentation has been updated.
There were two pieces to the change:
1) Make it clear who is receiving access requests (especially since it used to default to "someone@example.com" which I'm pretty sure doesn't help ;). It's now clear if you're selecting the default (owners) or another e-mail address of your choice.
2) Show a custom message on the access request page.
Thanks!

What I really would like to see it that these requests result in the requestors account being added to the Office Group instead of the SharePoint Group. Is this on your roadmap?

Hi Dean_Gross,
If the user is requesting access to a site, I believe that option does exist. We don't offer it for document access requests as the end result is the user getting access to additional content (which may not be intended). If this is something you'd like to see, feel free to suggest it on User Voice though! Thanks,

- Hi Stephen,
It would be great to see access requests in the modern site permissions sidebar, rather than having to go into site settings.- StephenRice
Hi Andrew Silcock,
Your descriptions match my understanding as well :) We don't hear a lot of feedback on these particular strings but I'll keep this in mind next time we mess with the page (so we can hopefully make things a little clearer).
And I would love to see access requests surfaced there as well. Nothing in the works yet but definitely on my personal wish list ;)
