Request access to a space - new feature

Question

Hi,

Today, I received the Atlassian release note that states that if you don't have access to a space, you can request access, and it will be forwarded to the space creator.

Does anyone else think this is weird? Space creator is a field that can't be updated; it means that over time the creator isn't relevant anymore (moved role, left or IT in medium plus organs). Do you know why the requests aren't sent to a space Admin?

And speaking of which, do you miss a field for space owners? I keep a separate all-org table for space owners, who are business /org functionality and are in charge of the space's content.

Best,

Tami

Via space "Details" I'm the "Created by" user.  Today I received an access request email.  However, in the email sent out it referred to me (not as "Created by" but) as "Owned by". I am also a member of a group that is defined (along with 4 individuals and several builtin "apps"(!?!?)) as an Administrator of the space.  So I can't be certain what logic is behind determining who receives these access request emails. I also can't find where to configure or disable this "user access request"/"access request email recipients" functionality. Usual Atlassian SNAFU.

Thank you @Tami Dubi for sharing. I think that it is a write error. @Kristen Waters could you please clarify on this? Is it really how it would work as described by you on the post?

Hi,

I attached screenshot from Atlassian weekly release notes. This is a change that is rolling out now.

I realy hope this is a writer error and it will go to the space admins and not to the space creator

Best,
