cfiessingerWe haven't disabled groups creation but have controls around it. End users can't create Groups, only admins can.

But end users can create Yammer groups. What happens to these Yammer groups created by end users? Do they get full capabilities of O365 groups?

If end users do not have permissions to create Office 365 groups, they will still be able to create groups in Yammer, but they will be "classic" Yammer groups like we have today. The groups will not be connected to Office 365.
