Approving access requests

Having issues with people requesting access to a PBI published to a group workspace. I am receiving the mails when requests are made, but when I click on the "Approve Access" button, no name is being populated in the browser (using edge as default, tried chrome as well with same results). Used to be that the user name would be auto populated. I can manually key in user names, but when there are duplicates I do not know which user requested access as there is no other details than a name in the e-mail that is sent, no alias. Also, I typically do not see any pending requests at the bottom of the access tab either. Again, I used to see those, but now they are gone.

 

Any suggestions?

It seems that when I try and view the list of users who have access, the browser is crashing. I think the issue may be related to the size of the permissions list. Anyone else have suggestions?

Hi @tjaustin89,

 

Currently we can only suggest users to add comment when they request access by this way. Also you can come up a new idea about that and add your comments there to improve Power BI and make this feature coming sooner.
