    Hi Steve Johnson,  try this (works in my tenancy):

     

    Connect-PnPOnline -Url <site collection url>
    $web = Get-PnPWeb
    $web.RequestAccessEmail = ""
    $web.Update()
    Invoke-PnPQuery

Thanks guys! Sorry Matt Weston, I should've specified that I have a whole bunch of Site Collections affected and it's causing confusion for users, so I'm looking at switching it off and adjusting our provisioning solution as appropriate too.

 

Oliver Zeiser Thanks, I've tried what you've suggested, but the Allow access requests box is refusing to uncheck.

 

This is the code I'm running - am I missing anything do you know?

 

$web = Get-PnPWeb -Includes MembersCanShare, AssociatedMemberGroup.AllowMembersEditMembership 
$web.MembersCanShare=$false 
$web.AssociatedMemberGroup.AllowMembersEditMembership=$false 
$web.RequestAccessEmail="" 
$web.AssociatedMemberGroup.Update() 
$web.Update() 
$web.Context.ExecuteQuery() 
Write-Host "Access request settings updated"
