SharePoint Access Requests Settings
Hi there. Any updates on this? We are starting to receive questions from our users about how to stop the Owners group from getting the requests. They just want one or two people to get the requests, not the whole Owners group. Not sure how to stop this when the option is set to go to just one person and the requests are going to all owners. Is anyone else having this problem?
Yes, that did happen to us and is causing a lot of confusion for our people who were used to our on-premise settings--we are migrating to the Cloud and everything was set the same originally and then this setting showed up.
To workaround this, slowly we are having them go through their Access Request Settings and making sure they are correct. Although, the individual email setting does not appear to be working as expected for us. To workaround that, we are having people review their permissions and making sure only those who should truly have Owner full control rights are in that group. A lot of people seem to have upwards of 10 people in that group just because they need people to contribute to the site.
