users can create office 365 groups again, UsersPermissionToCreateGroupsEnabled ignored?

i have recognized that my default users are able to create office 365 groups again. i have disabled the group creation month ago by setting the following command in my tenant (and is still set): 

Set-MsolCompanySettings -UsersPermissionToCreateGroupsEnabled $False

 

users were not able to create groups out of outlook,sharepoint,planner, ... but now they can do it again.

is it neccessary to define a group who are allowed to create groups (https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Control-who-can-create-Office-365-Groups-4c46c8cb-17d0-44b5-9776-005fced8e618)?

i have tested this in two tenants, the behavior is the same.

does someone have the same issue?

 

  • Yes, it's necessary to follow the steps from the article you cited. The UsersPermissionToCreateGroupsEnabled relates to security groups, not Office 365 groups.

      thanks, i have changed now the settings and it works.

      strangely enough that it has worked before without configure a group.
