Please introduce a global setting to Prevent Teams from creating PowerBi App Workspace automatically when creating a new Team. As the new Workspaces are detached from Teams/Groups this should be a setting to prevent the App Workspaces beeing clotted with empty Workspaces from all our Teams.

RE: Disable or prevent Teams from autocreating App Workspace

Power Settings Updated on Aug 6th 2020 -
You can enable setting in Power BI> Admin Portal > Tenant settings>
"Block classic workspace creation" and this will stop creating Workspace when Teams app group is created.
Finally !!! this is most awaited (at-least for my company), thank you for listening Microsoft.

RE: Disable or prevent Teams from autocreating App Workspace

The option is now in tenant setting to disable the creation of classic workspaces (which in turn prevents Teams from creating those).

RE: Disable or prevent Teams from autocreating App Workspace

Hey folks, looks like Power BI has finally listened. A feature is planned to be introduced in Oct 2020 for "a Power BI admin portal setting to stop the creation of new classic workspaces, including those automatically created when an Office 365 group is created".

RE: Disable or prevent Teams from autocreating App Workspace

It is impossible to work with Power BI with the number of Workspace created due to MS Team/Microsoft Group...It needs to be fixed ASAP because it is not manageable..what it is the point of the new experience workspace if the classic is still around...we have like 30+
classic workspaces in Power BI now...

Makes the environment messy and harder work to manage. Should be optional

RE: Disable or prevent Teams from autocreating App Workspace

It really needs to be optional at the least.

RE: Disable or prevent Teams from autocreating App Workspace

Only seems to happen if yo are a PowerBi administrator (I believe, still investigating) is causing LOADS of issues though

RE: Disable or prevent Teams from autocreating App Workspace

This is very frustrating need a fix asap, tools are supposed to be individual. I understand the purpose of groups but it's not applicable, logic need to be changed.

We had to shut down Teams and yammer because of this issue!

RE: Disable or prevent Teams from autocreating App Workspace

Just finished a round of usability testing with our Power BI users, and this was a point of confusion. Majority of Teams / Yammer / O365 groups don't make sense to have PBI workspaces - only a minority would have relevant report collaboration needs, and there could be a flow in Azure admin portal to add a connected PBI workspace, and/or flow in PBI - similar to how a Team can be connected to a pre-existing O365 group. Please fix this to help declutter the Power BI navigation experience, especially important for novice users!
