How can I set the Access Request Settings to the Owner group on an O365 SharePoint site ?I could not find any method in PnP PowerShell or CSOM... Set-PnPRequestAccessEmails only allows to set emails, not to select the site owner group. The option is available through the UI though :

Hello VesaJuvonen, Is there any progress with this topic. Or at least clarify how it should be used when we want to configure web owner group?We are looking for this right now as the requests are not processed.Have a nice dayP.

Fouziya, Is the default group listed in the UI screenshot still a valid group on the site? In cases where no secondary address has been set and the default group is not available, I believe we fall back to the site creator. Thanks for confirming! Stephen Rice OneDrive Program Manager II

StephenRice Hi - this isnt the same as being able to set the site to use the Owners group through script. this would be very useful to us as I would now like to set all of our existing sites (which are currently using hardcoded email addresses) to using the Owners group to service access requests. Im kind of hoping the PnP Powershell Cmdlets might include an option for doing that - what do you think VesaJuvonen could we get that added to the "To Do" list? Thanks Nigel

Hi Long Liang , There should be some new updates to CSOM to allow access request settings to be modified. Thanks! Stephen Rice OneDrive Program Manager II

It's set to Site Owner Group by default . You don't need to set it. If you need to send the request to a different email address you can still do it using the same powershell.

Hi,
Did you find a solution for your problem ?
I have exactly the same problem to solve. I need to define RequestAcces on the Owner Group, not on a specific email...

To enable this email setting and send the notification to the owner, use the below PnP PowerShell snippets .

$cred = Get-Credential
Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://.sharepoint.com -Credential $cred
Set-PnPRequestAccessEmails -Emails ktskumar@<tenant>.onmicrosoft.com
To add multiple emails to the settings, use the below cmdlet.

Set-PnPRequestAccessEmails -Emails @( ktskumar@<tenant>.onmicrosoft.com; user1@<tenant>.onmicrosoft.com )
The below PnP Powershell snippet is used to get the emails associated to allow access requests settings.

$cred = Get-Credential
Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://.sharepoint.com -Credential $cred
Get-PnPRequestAccessEmails

  Nop. On my tenant by default access requests are defined to be sent to the user who created the site. Quite annoying when you have to handle a large number of sites.

    StephenRice - I know you were looking for feedback and pretty involved in the Access Request piece, have any insights on this one?
