Request access to teamsite puts user in the wrong permission group

Question

When a user request access to our team site and I approve his/her request then the user is added to the team site members and should be added to the team site visitors instead. Is this a common behavior, or is this set as default somewhere in SharePoint?

Greetings,

Yes, if you have clicked directly on the Approve button it will be added to the Members group by default.

To Specify which group (Like visitors group) you need to do the following:

• At the pending Requests Click on eclipse ...
• Specify the Group Name
