We would like to disable or hide the end user option/ button/ window where they can request access to a dashboard on which they landed after opening a url from a dashboard which is not shared with them.



All our corporate reports are shared via dashboards via dynamic updated universal (A)AD groups.

There is no need for end users to request access via the default powerbi request access button. Yet they are able to do so on dashboards which they don't have access to. These requests are sent to the workspaceowner, which doesn't have a emailbox. Endusers are waiting for an repsonse, but adminitrators only see this request after explicitly opening the dashboard sharing window.

Need 2 options, disable or route to an email box that is not the owner.

RE: Disable request access feature.

it is a necessity for enterprise app to be controlled through custom process for AD group update. Lack of customise access request creates lots of end user frustration

In the new workspaces (preview ones), you can set a list of contacts for the workspace, whoch would be used for all email communication by power bi. so the access requests will be directed to those users/groups.

RE: Disable request access feature.

Just to expand on this idea..it would be great to be able to customize the "request access" feature -- customize who receives the request or send the requestor a message with more details on how to request access through appropriate channels.

This is useful for enterprise apps where AD groups are used to control access and new users need to be approved by someone within the business before being added to the AD group.
