Hi there,

 

Happy to help. If you select the elipsis (...) next to the Group name in Power BI, and select Members it should take you to the O365 Member Page. From here you should see three tabs (All, Owners, Guests). If you want to add an owner to this group (E.g. a person who'll get a request email) then go to the "All" tab of members and select the elipsis (...) next to their name and click make owner. This should let you set up anyone who should get the approval emails for the group. Let me know if this solution works for you.

    I went and doubled checked and I'm already an owner for the O365 group. Neither myself or the other owner is getting emailed when someone requests access to dashboards in the group workspace.  Thanks for the idea.

      The other step to check (you might have already) is check to make sure you're also an admin in the Power BI page as well. If you select the same elepsis (...) next to the group on the PBI.com page and select "Edit Group" instead, you can set anyone there as a group admin. These are seperate settings from O365 Group ownership. Screenshot steps below,
