When someone outside a workspace request access to a thing, it sends a notice to all users who have access to that thing. In our environment, that can easily be 400 people being emailed about something they know nothing about, but happen to have access to because it's public. Having an option to refine who the request goes to, like to the creator / admins in that item, would drastically reduce the spam. The Request Access feature description does not note that the requests go to more than just the Owners, it goes to any user that has permissions to share as well. If the user is in the workspace, then it works as advertized, only notifying the Owner of the item. If it only notified the Owner, we'd be spared litterally thousands of notices per month using this feature. Spamming people this way makes it so everyone just has a rule set in their mailbox to ignore them all, or admins to remove the feature completely. This month alone, we've had 3400 emails to staff for 44 requests. At best, someone who gets one of these access requests is pestered more than they should be. At worst, one of the 400 people grants access to a thing that the requestor should not have.
