Add a way for workspace admins to deny creator access requests and/or disable repeated “creator request” email notifications

XMLWordPrintable

      In Loom workspaces, when a viewer/creator lite user requests to become a Creator, admins receive email notifications prompting them to approve the request. Currently, the email only presents an Approve action; there is no way to explicitly Deny the request or prevent further notifications for the same requester.

      Customers do not want to simply ignore or filter these emails; they want them to stop entirely and consider the current experience a “very poor user experience.”

      Current behavior

      1. Viewer requests Creator role (e.g., from within Loom).

      2. Admin(s) receive an email with an Approve button.

      3. Admin cannot:

      • Deny the request from the email.
      • Mark the request as resolved/denied in-product.
      • Disable or mute future emails for that requester or for the workspace generally.

      4. Workaround suggested so far: customer sets up email filters/rules to ignore these emails, which they rejected as unacceptable.


      Requested behavior / Proposed solution
      Provide admins with one or more of the following capabilities:

      1. Explicit Deny action

      • Add a Deny button in the creator-request email and/or in the Loom admin panel.
      • Once denied:
      • The requester should no longer trigger repeated creator-request emails to admins for the same workspace (or at least for a configurable period).
      • The status of the request should be stored (e.g., Denied) so admins have auditability.

      2. “Don’t notify me again” / mute control

      • In the email and/or admin UI, allow admins to:
      • Stop future creator-request emails from a specific user.
      • Optionally, stop all creator-request emails for the workspace (global mute toggle).

      3. Workspace-level notification settings

      • In the admin settings, surface a control such as:
        • “Allow users to request Creator access: On/Off”
        • “Send email notifications to admins for creator requests: On/Off”
        • “Only send creator request notifications to specific roles/admins: [configurable]

      Benefits / Impact

      • Reduces noisy and unwanted notifications for admins, especially in large enterprise workspaces.
      • Aligns with admin expectations around control and governance.
      • Improves perceived UX; addresses direct feedback that the current flow feels “very poor” because it forces email rule workarounds.
      • Lowers support volume for complaints about persistent creator-request emails.
