Aug 23, 2016FYI here is a recent article on how to manage group creation using the newly released Azure AD policy: Manage Office 365 Group creation for Microsoft Planner (note we made more announcements around governance last June in this post: What’s new in Office 365 Groups administration—June 2016 update & we'll have lots of content at Microsoft Ignite around Groups governance next month in Atlanta, yes all the recordings will be made publically available shortly after the event)

Aug 23, 2016Lots of great energy here. If we could move subsequent q/a to separate threads, that'd be better. Don't worry - Jim Van Eaton and the engineers reposnd to the other threads, too :-).

Hello Team,
I am in the process of evaluating O365 Groups and Planner and in the process of creating documentation for my Staff. I have few queries regarding O365 groups and Planner.
1. We dont have/use Azure AD subscription. One of the article which i came across asks to use Azure AD admin portal to create Security groups etc? how can i block users creating O365groups in simple way? I want to create 2 policies. One for IT Staff (create groups) other one for users (deny creating groups)
2. Can office365 groups contains other o365 groups,legacy DL's or legacy Security Groups as members?
3. If i allow Manager to create O365 Group/Plan and he creates plan, add all his direct reports as members of this group. Can these members work on Planner with full permissions even though they dont have rights to create Groups?
4. How do i apply a Storage quota policy only for O365 groups? I dont want all my new groups to be created with default Storage Quota of 1TB etc.
