The "Share" button on a Lakehouse is not the same as other share buttons. All other "share" buttons in Fabric/PowerBI are designed to create a link (which you can do by clicking "copy link" which generates the link itself) and then you can choose to save the link or to share it over an email notification. ON a Lakehouse however, the share button is not a "sharing notification" button. It's actually a "change permissions" button, that enables you to add a user or group and set the permissions they need on that Lakehouse. In most scenarios, such as sharing with the organization, we ABSOLUTELY DO NOT want tens of thousands of notifications to be generated. This would happen if the user forgets to uncheck the "notify users vis email" button, which is all to easy to do.


Instead, a simple fix would be to change the default behaviour of this popup to have the checkbox deselected by default.
