How to avoid email of users requesting access?

[Anonymous]

I have a report published that is accessible to a certain group of people.

My problem is that , I believe some people is sharing the link with others (that should never have access), and I get severl of these weekly:

Is there a way of disabling this? that is; I want that even if they share the link the person should not be allowed to request access...

Why should the users be as "viewers" in the workspace.... Workspace access is only for people working in the reports, not for end-users...

Well viewers can't share a report unless you allow them, so if they share the email for the request will be sent keeping the report secure. If you add read users as members or admin they can share and allow any member of the company to read the report. The email requesting access is a good thing because it means a user that wasn't added as a read one is trying to view a report and they are not supposed to view it.

If you want any user to be able to share so that you don't need to receive and accept people over and over again you just need to teach them how to share (it's not copying the url like they might be doing).

I hope that helps,

Hi. If you are getting that message is because they don't have access to the report. Security is working ok. You can't prevent them to copy the url and share it, but that will resault in the email asking for permission that you will deny. 

On the other hand make sure the users are "Viewers" at the workspace or if you share single report make sure you disable the possibility to share with others. If you do that, they can't share it any way.

I hope that make sense
