SharePoint Access Request Ignoring Default Group
MicrosoftHi 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!

Please explain this in more detail. I am not clear on what you mean by ' in the actionable message in Outlook, there should be an option for seeing the original message. ' Do you mean that when the recipient of the notification clicks on the accept, the page for the 'User Access Requests and Invitations' opens instead of just granting access? Is there an option to make sure this happens? I am the Site Admin for a 40+ Site Site-Collection. Most has unique permissions. I simply cannot keep managing this. All of our sites have to be set up for the Owners Group to be notified of requests, because we have to many people who need access and our SLA dictates that we respond within one day. I went into a site today and found individuals added outside security groups, which violates our security policy. It would also be nice if we could she the person how approved in the Site Permission view.
Thanks,
Dan

Hi Daniel Paul,
The actionable message in Outlook replaces the original message content (which links the user out to the web page) but there is a link that says "Show original message" at the bottom of the e-mail. This will open the original message which will then link the user to the web page. The permanent fix here is in-progress now and we should have more to share soon. Thanks!
