Site Collection Admin Approval of Sharing
Please feel free to tell me that I'm going mad or I've dreamt it, but was there previously an option in SharePoint online to include an admin approval of any sharing requests going out for a given site? I'm so sure it was there, but now I can't find it! Alternatively I've been working too hard and I'm now dreaming about SharePoint.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers
Matt

Are you speaking of Access Requests?
See https://support.office.com/en-us/article/set-up-and-manage-access-requests-94b26e0b-2822-49d4-929a-8455698654b3
Thanks for your reply Salvatore.
I think it may have been my interpretation of this page that has made me question the configuration options here. If I uncheck both "Allow members to invite others to the site members group" AND "Allow members to share the site and individual files and folders", do you believe the expected behaviour is for members to still share, but for a notification be sent to the Team Site Owners that something has been shared?
When you uncheck "Allow members to share the site and individual files and folders", also "Allow members to invite others to the site members group" will be automatically unchecked.
In such case, members will not be able to share at all.
If "Allow access requests" is checked, access requests will still be generated when someone requests to access the site resources without having permissions.
