How do you handle Groups / SharePoint / Teams creation
I've seen a few other posts that have brushed by this, but I'm curious how others handle this. It's really stressing me out as an admin because I like keeping things clean, however, I'm starting to t...
For the moment one of the customers I'm working with is choosing to let it run its course for a couple of months and see who is doing what.
That way they can identify who wants to use the technology and work differently, and can then embrace those people as champions.
It will create a mess initially, but better to create a small mess and clean it up - knowing what to do when applying the logic to the rest of the organisation.

- yeah, i'm torn with doing the same thing. I'm just too stingy on keeping things clean, but I think I need to just let it run it's course as well. My biggest issue is seeing multiple groups with near the same name, because they are creating one thing, then another for the same team not knowing that there is already that piece created.
I tried setting up an audit item for when groups get created but it's showing an alert for every time someone creates a sharing item as well for some reason. That way I can kind of audit whats going on as it happens vs. just ignoring or checking after it's too late.I agree with the potential problem of ending up with two names the same if users can create a Group (which creates a site), or a Site (which creates a Group). Our users are used to the inability to do it themselves, so I think we'll be ok with continuing this level of control.
- Yeah I'm heading down that path. Just trying to figure out how to turn everything off first. In the meantime I have an alert that lets me know when a group is created because people don't know about 365 just have people poking around that have created anything yet.
