Looking at different parts of the UI, most places have both a "Grant Access" and "Subscribe" link.
If I click "Grant Access", I expect that option to be preselected. If I click "Subscribe", I expect that option to be preselected.
I don't think it is too onerous to have to select the other option, if I want to.
If there is a lot of confusion, you could add a third, "Subscribe & Grant Access" option that preselects both. Personally, I think that is clutter.
The Circle concept is nice, but if you are going to use that metaphor, you should incorporate it more thoroughly into the language; ie: "Subscribe" would be an "Inbound Circle", "Grant Access" an "Outbound Circle", both would be a "Full Circle (all the way)".
Clicking "Subscribe" and getting a page called "Add to Circle" is a confusing change.
