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?

catching up after vacation, I can respond to this:
>>When will we be able to see and manage the site collections created by office 365 groups?
right now! You can use SharePoint Online PowerShell commands Get-SPOSite and Set-SPOSite to see any site, including those created as part of a group. The actions on these sites are limited today to only setting storage, because other options (owners, guest policy, delete/un-delete) are controlled by the group object in AAD.
We are working on also making these sites appear in the SharePoint Tenant Admin web interface.
Always happy for feedback on how we can improve manageability!
- In regards to Delete/undelete do we have a solid timeline on when we're getting soft delete features for 365 groups? it's the terrifyingly big elephant in the room that accidently(or maliciously) deleted groups will be gone forever.
Thanks...
We chose to disable Groups for 365 rather then put up with this half baked implementation you guys are rolling out that does not allow for the sites to follow our companies governance model...
