Update the Request Access Features

[MOsborne]

Have been looking into amending the Request Access messages as we use a separate Request System for managing Access Requests.

Whilst doing this I found the following - You can amend the Access Request message on an App or on a Semantic Model, but you can't amend a message for Workspace or the associated Report for a Semantic Model - both of these options would be very useful.

For example I set a message on a Semantic Model, but when sharing the associated report link to a user without access, the message displayed was the default message and not the amended one.

Another useful option would be to have the Access Message request managed in the Admin Portal, where you could select to apply it to App, Workspace, Report or Semantic Model.  We have a lot of Pipelines/Workspaces and a lot of reports within them, so this would save a lot of time rather than going through individually.  If this could also allow you to add a Placeholder, so that it automatically identifies in the message which App, Workspace, Report or Semantic Model, the user is requesting access to.

Also as an observation - when amending the message on the App, you can include a hyperlink which remains as a hyperlink when the message is displayed.  But when amending the message on the Semantic Model, the hyperlink is lost and is just displayed as plain text.

This would be a very nice feature to improve administration. If we could customize the message for different domains or workspaces too, that would be nice. Different ownership could mean different process or at least different contact persons. An example could be moving from report level access permissions to using Power BI Apps. If we could show a message with a link to the correct App, that would greatly improve the administrative effort to ensure the right usage of the Power BI content.
