Access Review for Managers Only - Members Getting Email, too

Hello, I'm trying to create an access review for all PIM controlled groups in Entra ID Governance that will go to managers only to review. I've selected the 'manager of users' option under Select Reviewers, however, when the review is created, the manager AND the group members are receiving the email about the review. How do I suppress the email notifications to group MEMBERS?

**I hope this question lands in the correct place as the tag/child tag options did not have Entra ID as an option.

    Hello Heather Singleton,

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Microsoft Entra access reviews currently cannot send notifications only to managers while suppressing emails to group members. The Email notifications toggle only controls emails to reviewers and admins, Entra will still automatically email the users whose access is being reviewed, and this behavior cannot be disabled separately.

    The only practical workaround is to turn off Email notifications in the access review and then notify the managers yourself through an external method. This avoids sending emails to members, although it requires handling manager notifications outside of the built-in Entra system.
