Hi Nigel,

 

Thanks again for reaching out! We have identified an issue with the new actionable message card where it's not behaving quite how we want for site requests. We're working on a fix but don't have an ETA just yet.

 

In the meantime, in the actionable message in Outlook, there should be an option for seeing the original message. You can click the accept button there which will take you to the Access Request page where the behavior has not changed.

 

Hope that helps!

    Is this issue resolved? Are the users added to default group

      I'm also waiting for a fix for this. It seems that the Outlook action still gives users individual Edit/Contribute permissions (which is logic for a Group Permission) but not for SharePoint permissions. Using the original message gives a solution for the mean time but I hope Microsoft fixes this soon!
