Change email address that Requests For Access get send to
Whenever a user tries to access a page that he doesn’t have access to he get’s the following screen:
At the bottom of the screen he can Request access. When he click’s the Request Access link he can enter a message that get’s emailed.
But where can you find/change the email address that get’s used to send these requests to?
When you are on a site, go to Site Settings and choose Advanced Permissions, click on the menu Settings and choose Access Requests. This will give you the email address used for requests from within that site. Since you can grant access at Library and Item level, these Libraries and Items will inherit the setting from the site that they are on. You are not allowed to change the email address at those sub levels, but you can disable the feature on them (i.e. for a whole library disable the Request Access feature).

Hi Erwin,
Requesting for an access using above mentioned steps would send a autogenerated email from SharePoint Application to the site collection administrator (or the person whose name is specified there). what if the changes are required on the email content or the links that are being forwarded on those emails.
From where can we make changes to the autogenerated email that’s being recieved by the admin whenever the access is requested on the site collection/content?
Thanks in Advance:)
