custom request access doesn't work

Hello,

I want to control the automatic message client get when they try to access a report with limited access

looks like you can only control it from the dataset itself

Hi @Anonymous ,

All users in the workspace have at least permission to access the report, so there is no need to request access when opening the report.

This is the window used to request permission for the dataset.

If you have an Admin, Member, or Contributor role on the workspace where the dataset is located, you can change the default access request behavior using the Request access options that are available in the dataset settings.
For example, I set up the dataset like this.

When users who do not have access to the dataset use the view the dataset and request access.

At this point, the content just set will be displayed.

Are the end users receiving this message trying to access the report through an app or directly in the workspace? As I understand it the customizable message is only what they see if they're following a link to the workspace version; the app version is not customizable (which drives me crazy.)
