‘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.
