How to change ownership or email of SharePoint access request

The access request feature allows people to request access to content that they do not currently have permission to see. As a site owner, you can configure the feature to send you mail when someone requests access to a site. You can then choose whether to approve or decline their request. If you approve the request, you can also specify the specific level of permission you’d like to assign to a user.

The access request feature also works together with the Share command for sites. If someone who is not a site owner for a site (that is, someone who does not have full control for a site) uses the Share command to invite other people to view a site, then that action will generate an access request for the site owner. The site owner can then approve or decline the request, or specify the permission level to be assigned to the new user.

ISSUE:

we can set up access request on your site, by default who creates the site that person is responsible for approving access requests and all request will be send to the same person.
Now, that person moved away from the current department or you may want to change the person.

Resolution:

Site owners can set up the access request feature so that it sends them an email when someone requests access to a site.

    1. Go to Settings Settings button > Site Settings.

    2. Under Users and Permissions, click Site Permissions.

    3. On the Permissions tab, click Access Request Settings.

    In the Access Request Settings dialog box, select the check box next to Allow access requests, and then type the email address of the person you want to make responsible for approving access requests.

    4. Click OK.

If you want to disable access request you can uncheck "Allow access requests".
