Please can you add functionality in the admin portal which could prevent users from creating groups. This will help to maintain control and governance of the system and ensure that it's purpose for implementing it into the organisation is fulfilled.

RE: Admin Center - Stop users from creating groups

Definitely need to have the ability to prevent users from creating their own workspaces since that automatically creates the O365 groups.

RE: Admin Center - Stop users from creating groups

Is there a manual somewhere that says how I can prevent users from creating workspace apps, with this feature?

RE: Admin Center - Stop users from creating groups

I agree with Esau Robles comments, these are all needed. There has to be a balance for Governance, right now the app is wide open. Not only can our admins not prevent workspace creation, we can't even see and manage all workspaces that have been created. It cripples us from and administrator point of view.

Also to not allow user to create Security or Distribution Groups. As this has caused conflicts with On-Premise and Cloud synchronizations.
