Hello from the Office 365 Groups Engineering Team
Hi everyone! I am the Group Engineering Manager for O365 groups. I will be encouraging more of my engineers to participate in this forum to help answer questions and share solutions. Let the...
We have disabled group creation by end users due to group creation getting out of hand and not following our governance model for sharepoint sites. This also enatialed disabling planner. Now I hear Yammer groups are going to create an office 365 group and a teamsite which I dont govern... WHY...When will we be able to see and manage the site collections created by office 365 groups?
Robert, I am not in control of our groups or decisions, but the governance is something I worry about. We do have the Planner enabled which does give a back door to create a group. We are on a University campus and if every student creates a Planner for each of their courses that could be as many as 8 planner/groups/file storage/calendars/OneNote's created. That is assuming they don't also create one for other activities they are involved in. If you conservatively say 500 students create just 4 planners, that is 2000 planners inthe first year alone.
- I would love to see your students use Planner to that extent! How can we help make that happen. :-)
To use group calendars we need to have the teacher set events that students can´t delete. If that is solved then we can switch from Exchange calendars and team sites to Groups.
This school is a vocational school for higher ed, one of the tracks is SharePoint developers.

Hi
In order to prevent students deleting, you can set the calendar permissioings to readonly for members(aka students) . Please use the set-unifiedgroup cmdlet for all the class groups and set CalendarMemberReadOnly
