Unable to create an Office 365 Group in Admin Center
The article I mentioned had a link to email the documentation team about the article and as a result they updated the doc to include the following requirements.
What you need to know about creating groups in the admin center
You need Office 365 global admin permissions.
You need an Exchange Online license at minimum (for example, if you don't have an Office 365 business license).
Office 365 Groups must be enabled for your account. It is by default, but some organizations disable it.
You can't be a delegated admin (for example, a consultant who is an admin on behalf of).
If you create a security group to manage who can create Office 365 groups, the global admin does not need to be a member. They will still be able to create groups from the admin center. However, they won't be able to create groups from the apps (such as Planner, Outlook).
Thanks, Bruce...
