- This sounds like just what I have been asking about. One question, though, that is still a bit of a gray area for me.
In this new feature, where you can choose who receives the access requests, one option is the Owners which sounds promising. My question is, when the site is associated with an O365 Group/TEAMS, does that option actually refer to those who are and only those who are members of the site's owner's group and, therefore, does not also include those who have the role of Site Collection Admin? I ask this because, in the Advanced perms page, the only option, other than specific email address, was "...Admins". This doesn't work for us because there are other users included as Site Collection Admins for the site who are not the site's owners and should not be receiving access requests. We need site owners and only site owners to receive the access requests and I'm hoping that this new features is meeting that need. Can you confirm one way or the other?
