Auto Generated Access Request Emails from the Service

Dear Forum,

 

According to Microsoft documentation the Contact for a report will receive the access request emails sumbitted from the service.

Set contact information for reports and dashboards in the Power BI service - Power BI | Microsoft Le...

 

However I am an Admin on a Workspace that Hosts the App within which a Report exists and I am also getting the request emails (I am not down as the Report Cotact or the Dataset Owner.

 

What is your understanding of who gets a acess email requestion notificaiton. I can't seem to untangle it between:

 

  • Each Report Contact
  • Each Workspace Admin
  • Dataset owner

 

All of these potentially?

 

Essentially I want to be sure that our central IT mailbox also captures these and am not sure how to best go about this.

 

Cheers,

Stephen
