Dear,
I am Carlos Moreira owner of the chmcorpp company in Brazil. Chmcorpp is a strategic management and market intelligence consulting firm, was founded in 2001 to meet the government agencies, private and public company needs.

In June 2016 we were hired to develop a solution for a client, for which it would be a great case study that could bring us many financial fruits. After much study we chose to develop the application using Microsoft Access Web App.

In February 2017 we finalized the creation of the application and presented to the client, we trained all the staff and the 118 affiliated companies to this our client. All were very happy with the result, because in addition to the application created in the Access Web App, we still interacted with PowerBi, which made it possible to generate a real-time report for the shareholders.

In the market, as this our client there are more than 85 clients that could be sensitized to contract our services, that is, we will gain a great projection in the market and without a doubt hiring more services from Microsoft. That is, we would have a success together.

It turns out that in March 2017 Microsoft sent an informed marketing announcement that it would discontinue with the Access Web App, and later a message began to appear on the site and in Access itself. This scared our client and we were called to a meeting right away.

Since then we are suffering threats and will be processed by our client. Action that will keep our company (chmcorpp). We are all desperate and we do not know what we are going to do.

We stayed 99% all the time attending free calls to this customer and every small team focused on this single client. Our feeling is that this decision by Microsoft to discontinue Access Web App was like implanting a cancer in our company, and we are seeing it die. We are present in the market for 18 years, is a single action of Microsoft is taking our company to death.

We are not aware of PowerApps, let alone financial condition of hiring a company specializing in PowerApps to develop the same application, as our customer will not pay us for the service again.

In this way, we ask for all the support from Microsoft to understand our situation and help us to solve this problem without compromising, and let our companies die

Prezados,
Sou Carlos Moreira proprietário da empresa chmcorpp no Brasil. Chmcorpp é uma empresa de consultoria em gestão estratégica e de inteligência de mercado, foi fundada em 2001 para atender as necessidades de órgãos governamentais, empresas privadas e públicas.

Em junho de 2016 fomos contratados para desenvolver uma solução para um cliente, para o qual seria um grande estudo de caso que poderia nos reder muitos frutos financeiros. Depois de muito estudo optamos e escolhemos desenvolver o aplicativo usando o Access Web App.

Em fevereiro de 2017 finalizamos a criação do aplicativo e apresentamos ao cliente, treinamos toda a equipe e as 118 empresas filiadas a este nosso cliente. Todos ficaram muitos felizes com o resultado, pois além do aplicativo criado no Access Web App, ainda fizemos a interação com o PowerBi, o que possibilitou gerar relatório em tempo real para os acionistas.

No mercado, como este nosso cliente há mais 85 clientes que poderiam ser sensibilizados a contratar nossos serviços, ou seja, iremos ganhar uma grande projeção no mercado e sem dúvida contratando mais serviços da Microsoft. Ou seja, iríamos ter um sucesso juntos.

Acontece que em março de 2017 a Microsoft enviou m comunicado no mercado informado que iria descontinuar com o Access Web App, e mais tarde uma mensagem começou à aparecer no site e no próprio Access. Isto assustou nosso cliente e fomos chamados para uma reunião de imediato.

Desde de então estamos sofrendo ameaças e iremos ser processados pelo nosso cliente. Ação que irá mantar nossa empresa (chmcorpp). Estamos todos desesperados e não sabemos o que vamos fazer.

Ficamos 99% a todo tempo atendendo chamados gratuitos para este cliente e toda pequena equipe focada neste único cliente. Nosso sentimento é que esta decisão da Microsoft de descontinuar o Access Web App foi como implantar um câncer em nossa empresa, e estamos vendo a mesma morrer. Estamos presente no mercado por 18 anos, é uma única ação da Microsoft está levando nossa empresa a morte.

Não temos conhecimento do PowerApps, e muito menos condição financeira de contratar uma empresa especializada no PowerApps para desenvolver o mesmo aplicativo, pois nosso cliente não irá nos pagar pelo serviço novamente.

Desta forma, pedimos todo apoio da Microsoft para entender nossa situação e nos ajudar a resolver da melhor forma possível este problema sem nos comprometer, e deixar nossa empresas morrer.

Please verify options or identified items are actually exactly the same before posting documentation, tech, support articles showing that something is exactly the same across versions.

I and users have run into this issue on a number of articles. This causes confusion and frustration, as it makes you expect options or to see configuration settings/have them available, but they're not.

For example: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Set-up-and-manage-access-requests-94B26E0B-2822-49D4-929A-8455698654B3#bk_enableallow

The top of the document shows "Applies To: SharePoint Online, SharePoint Server 2016, SharePoint Foundation 2013, SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise, SharePoint Server 2013, SharePoint Online admin center"

But the custom message option identified for "Access Requests Settings" is nothing like the one shown, using SharePoint Server 2013. There is no ability to include a custom message. All that is actually there is to have it on/off and add the email.

In the documentation https://support.office.com/en-us/article/connect-a-classic-experience-sharepoint-team-site-to-a-new-office-365-group-469c6ee0-2139-4496-9914-7e39d07ac49d

you talk about setting the policy, also the documentation on users going through the process of joining an existing SP site to an O365 Group.

In both sets of documentation there is nothing that discusses whether or not that newly enlisted site is now part of the Groups Expiration Policy.

Obviously for a Joined SP site collection we do not want this policy, or perhaps some do, but its optional.

In any case where is the documentation on what actually happens here ? We cant tell, and dont want to wait a year to find out :)
