MicrosoftOffice 365 Groups limits (Subscription level)
Just a question on the maximum number of Groups per user in O365 (E5)
I understand that there is a limit (200?250?) to the number of groups that can be created by a single user.
In a scenario where we were to disable group creation for ALL users by default and only allow admins to create them .. does this 250 limit apply to the admin users?
Is there a way , at the tenant level to enable group creation but put a quota on it so that individual users can't create 250 groups but can create perhaps 5 groups?
Deleted the 250 limit does not apply to admins, only users.
You can't configure a lower per-user limit, and strictly the enforcement of the limit seems a little variable through different interfaces in our testing, Teams full applies it, Outlook not so much. It's probably more useful to think of it the limit up to which you will get assistance from support.
You could build your own workflow to create groups and build your own business logic as to what to allow, see the blog series by Martina Grom at
It's perhaps not for the faint of heart, but shown how you can extend the product.
