I created a public sharepoint site, which anyone in my organization should be able to access.
But i do not want to keep getting email requests every time someone is trying to get in the site.
Anybody knows how i can set it so that anyone can access without my approval through email?

    In the top right of your Sharepoint site there should be a Share button.

    You should then be able to type in everyone except external users > ensure Read is chosen as the permission level > uncheck the Send email (if you don't want people to get a notification) > Share.

    This will add everyone with Read permissions.

    Hi @bronny8 ,
    According to your description, it can be achieved by turning off the "Access request" function.
    Click gear in the upper right corner, then click Site permissions-->Change how members can share, turn "Allow access requests" off, click "Save".
