Allow Access Requests Email Settings In SharePoint Site Using PnP PowerShell

Blog helps to update or get the allow access requests email settings using PnP PowerShell. When new users get access denined to the site, they will use the access request feature to inform the Site owner to grant them the access.

When new users get access denied to the site, they use the access request feature to inform the Site Owner to grant them the access.

 

From the Site Permissions  -> Access Requests Settings -> Allow Access Requests feature has the option for setting the email. So, whenever a user requests access to the site/ file/folder, an email will be sent to notify the user to provide them the access.

 

If we remove the email from the "Allow Access Requests" settings, this feature gets disabled and the new user won't notify the user when they need access.

 

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://<tenant>.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 )
