Custom "Request Access" pop up button

RE: Custom "Request Access" pop up button

How is this not implemented yet?

Especially when it is possible to do for Power BI app already!

This needs to be moved up in priority for early this year since it has been on here since 2020.

RE: Custom "Request Access" pop up button

Supporting what is written below, we are also attempting to use AD/AAD Groups to give access to Reports and Workspaces. This will continue as we move to Fabric as it uses the same mechanism as Power BI Service (looks like a name change to me...) There must be a better way to handle this situation other than adding a custom message to each Workspace. I put a custom message into 2 Workspaces telling the User that they need to submit a Help Desk Ticket to request access specifying the Report and Workspace they need access to and this then requires adding the user to the appropriate Group assigned the appropriare access. This is not really a solution as we have a bunch of Workspaces and doing them 1 by 1 is pretty tedius. Add a way for the Fabric Admin to globally control how it works - you could add an option to turn it on Globally or on an individual workspace level. Just a thought.

RE: Custom "Request Access" pop up button

I agree with Walter below. If Microsoft is going to tout Apps and AD groups as a best practice, can we customize the message to instruct the read request access on how to gain access by requesting access to the AD group? LFG

Come on Microsoft you can deliver this low hanging fruit.

RE: Custom "Request Access" pop up button

Hi all, the title of this idea is more general and the original description speaks about dashboards specifically...but we treat this idea as the broad request for custom access denied message settings for any item type in Fabric or Power BI, including reports.

With that said, we're excited to tell you that custom message settings for apps has been released! @Kevin Warren, @Carol Witts, @Matthew Floyd, and many others...we'd love to hear what you think.

Please read about it here on the Power BI blog:

https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-custom-messaging-for-power-bi-app-access-requests/

Here's the apps specific idea for custom message settings:

https://ideas.fabric.microsoft.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=39a91166-4800-ec11-b76a-281878bd39b4

We now have custom message settings for semantic models and apps. We know there's a desire to add the same setting for other item types throughout Fabric and Power BI and will update this idea once settings are made available for other item types.

RE: Custom "Request Access" pop up button

Holy NO TRACTION batman! This was initially requested by Diego on 2017-11-29 01:42:34 (from the merged section). Are you telling me that after 6 years, not a peep? I think I've checked for some sort of update once/twice a month. Come on Microsoft, let's take care of this already instead of treating this ISSUE like low hanging fruit.

RE: Custom "Request Access" pop up button

For IT-owned reports, the report owner - i.e. the report developper or the service principal use by the publishing pipeline - does not have authority to grant access. The access request need to be routed to the service desk.

It would be useful to be able to configure the recipient of the "request access" emails, as well as the content of the message sent to the user requesting access.

RE: Custom "Request Access" pop up button

Agree this is a must have - we have different Apps for different teams based on what data they are permitted to see (GDPR) and it would save so much time if we could customise the message when they request access to be able to make it clear that if they are not part of that team, their request will be denied and what their options are.

RE: Custom "Request Access" pop up button

Yes, this is a must have feature; there should a way to control that if a user is not allowed access to a report through the admin permissions management, there should not be a way for them to request access directly if they somehow are provided with a link to the report. This creates a lot of administrative overhead with notifications and requests and also creates risk of inadvertent granting of permission that circumvents access control decisions made at an AD level.

RE: Custom "Request Access" pop up button

We manage access through AAD groups so we would like to the ability to disable this email and replace it with a message so people know how to request access. Also, as others have mentioned for the App, this would depend on the audience someone was trying to access. We might want a different message for each app so they knew which group to use to request access to that audience.
