Site Collection Admin Approval of Sharing
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.
Ok so that's my expectation. The scenario that I have at the moment is that I want a member to share content with an external user (which can be done by checking the box), however I want the admin/owner to approve that before it goes.
Now I'm sure that this used to be an option, or am I completely wrong?
I don't think so...

By default anyone who has contribute access or above can share without approval but access request settings can be adjusted so that external share needs to be approved before sharing.
