Manage access requests in SharePoint 2010

‘Manage access request’ is an old mechanism which was present in MOSS2007 and with no surprise Microsoft has continued the same feature in SharePoint 2010.

Let me tell you guys that this feature is very important from so many perspectives:

§  There might be so many site collections administrators are assigned but you can specify any user or you can call as POWER USER who has the responsibility to approve the access request.

§  You can specify anybody, but make sure that he has a thorough knowledge of the functionality as it might be a threat to your site security because your site might contains some confidential documents that you don’t want to explore any third party user.

§  You are maintaining a proper channel as well as record by which to whom you are approving or whom you are giving access denied.

§  This might be a part of your governance project model also

The access request feature allows people to request access to content that they do not currently have permission to see. As a site owner, you can configure the feature to send you mail when someone requests access to a site.

Where is the location of this functionality in SharePoint 2010?

How to enable ‘manage access request’ in SharePoint 2010?

Here are the detail steps:
1.   Open the site collection on which you are working.
2.   Site actions
3.   Site settings
4.   Under ‘users and permissions’ section
5.   Site permissions
6.   Please refer the Ribbon on the top
7.   Permission tools
8.   Manage access requests
9.   Select the checkbox ‘allow request for access’ and enter the appropriate email id as per your requirements and click OK

That’s it- We are done!

If you have any queries/questions regarding the above mentioned information then please let me know, Thank you.

Manage Access Requests in SharePoint 2010

Guys- we are already aware that manage access request means when a person gets access denied while accessing any SharePoint site then there is one link on the access denied page called as “request access” by which we can request the administrator to grant the access for the mentioned site.
Here is the screenshot that I am talking about:

This is pretty much similar in SharePoint 2007 also and same feature is continued in SharePoint 2010 also.
What we do in SharePoint 2007 for such issues? Where exactly we need to change request access ownership?
Here are the detailed steps:
·         Open the SharePoint site
·         Site actions
·         Site settings
·         Advanced permissions
·         Settings
·         Access requests

Note: same is applicable in SharePoint 2010 also but I am giving you the detail screenshot to avoid the confusion.

Please let me know in case of any queries/questions so that we can discuss and proceed further towards the resolution. Thank you
