Updated access request options

Hello,

 

As known from the past the address someone@example.com was used for all new SharePoint sites (or OneDrives) in the access request option. I saw Microsoft has fixed the issue, they added a new default option to send the mails to the site (or group) owners.

 

Previously I wrote a script to set the correct mail recipients every night. I want to change the previous setting back to the new default. The problem is I don't know what value or property is the new default? Does anyone know how to set the new default via Powershell?
With Set-PnPRequestAccessEmails I can set the mail address (like in the old method), or leave the value empty. An empty value disables the access request setting.

    Hi TobiasAT,

     

    We didn't make any changes to the API side of this so I would expect your scripts to continue working as before. The main thing we changed was to just make it more clear who was receiving the request. Before, seeing someone@example.com meant we were sending to the default recipient. Now we clearly specify if you have the default selected or have set a different address. Hope that helps!
