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

This is against our Power BI Admin rule. we only allow authorized user to create Workspace now everything one can create a app workspace.

one of our power users already discovered this and he has asked his team member to create more team workspace. As Admin, I am used to control the workspace creation, now this is totally out of control now.

RE: Disable or prevent Teams from autocreating App Workspace

not only for Teams, please do the same for Planner - as there is the same issue with the automatical workspace creation.

RE: Disable or prevent Teams from autocreating App Workspace

Ive gone into Power BI admin and to workspaces


We have 66 Old Classic Workspaces (Groups) cluttering Power BI that really need removing. They are needed as an Office 365 Group but they aren't needed as a Power BI Workspace


I've been upgrading the Classic Workspace to New in Power BI Service on Groups where I'm an admin and then deleting them. Annoying but doable but it takes up way too much time.

This really needs sorting out. It doesnt make sense to me that Classic Workspaces are created when we should be using the New workspace experience

RE: Disable or prevent Teams from autocreating App Workspace

This is a very serious problem. We should be able to control which App's the O365 Workspace is available within on an app by app basis, and have tenant level settings that control which apps the workspace proliferates to when it is created.

RE: Disable or prevent Teams from autocreating App Workspace

Agree with the masses. This is a must have. I've got people going into Teams and creating all types of workspaces that nobody will use. Most of the organization doesn't even know what Power BI is yet. We need a way (starting YESTERDAY) to stop these from being created.

RE: Disable or prevent Teams from autocreating App Workspace

The risk here is that we all waste heaps of time navigating through workspaces. The irony of it all is that the person who created the workspace via Teams didn't know they were doing it and never even us Power BI

RE: Disable or prevent Teams from autocreating App Workspace

This is critical! Our Power BI Tenant is being littered with classic/legacy workspaces. We are teaching our users only about new workspace experiences and it is very confusing for our user base. MS Team creation must be disconnected from auto creating Power BI workspaces! There is NO workaround, because if you delete the legacy/classic workspace it deletes the MS Team/Office365 Group etc as well.
