Activate teams for part of my organisation

Saw the event on MS teams, which looks very promising. I know we can enable it in our tenant now, but is there any way we can limit who this is released to, rather than releasing to all in our tenant...

    I have the answer, it's in the (very good) admin https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Frequently-asked-questions-about-Microsoft-Teams-%E2%80%93-Admin-Help-05cbe533-2181-4e95-a4b0-52cd7695fafc, which I have just come across:

     

    Can I enable Microsoft Teams for only a portion of the organization?

     

    At this time, user-level control is not yet available. Administrators can control access only at the organization level. We expect this capability to be available soon . After it is available, you can turn on or turn off the Microsoft Teams license for individual users.

     

    That's great to know the feature can be expected soon.

I have activated Teams on my tennant and am trying to make it available for a certain group. Members of that groups should be the only people allowed to create teamsites (as explained in the Microsoft Mechanics video about this). Unfortunately when I try to assign a group I appear to come into a loop. 

 

I am send to the Groups admin part of the tennant and am unable to assign a specific group to this fucntionality. Am I doing something wrong here?
