Limit creation of Office 365 Groups
Hello, Is there any way to limit the creation of Office 365 Groups? I have found this article here by Microsoft, but requires Azure AD Premium. https://support.office.com/en-us/article/manage-who...
- This is the only method currently available to limit group creation overall, and it does require Azure AD Premium. The PowerShell commands will work with any licensing level, but Microsoft could enforce the licensing for that at any time.
You're not alone in your feedback on this, and it's a common ask. Technically, only the administrator who performs this action (the PowerShell commands) needs an Azure AD Premium P1 license, so you could just get 1. Otherwise, be sure to share your feedback on UserVoice (https://office365.uservoice.com/forums/286611-office-365-groups).
The more feedback we can share the better!
Sure, you can limit the creation of Office 365 Groups, Teams and Planner without AAD premium. Take a look at my blog post, there also other tips for managing Office 365 Groups.
According to the Microsoft documentation, the administrator has to be licensed for Azure AD Premium in order to run the Set-AzureADDirectorySetting commandlet in Azure AD PowerShell. I agree that this is not enforced right now, but that doesn't change what they're saying.
