SharePoint Online 2013 - Request access procedure

SharePoint users were always able to request access to a site or document. This procedure has really improved in SharePoint Online 2013. I really love it! Let's start.

In a previous article I talked about the new sharing experience. I shared a document with my manager Theo but he has no permissions to the site. Theo get's the following message when trying to access the site:




Theo is able to send a message with the request! Pretty cool? Well it gets even cooler!


After Theo send his request, he is presented with a nice dialogue screen. He can send a new message and see the message history. I am the owner of the site so I will receive an e-mail message:


By clicking at the link I am forwarded to a new screen:


The root site provides an overview of all the pending requests. I can click at ... to open the callout menu:



In this menu I can approve or decline the request but I am also able to send a message to Theo:


You have to admit this is pretty cool right? I really like how interactive this whole procedure has become.
