Administration on who can create new Teams
Hi! as I'm preparing for a big rollout on Teams I was looking all the info I could get about recomended settings and guides to do it.
In that search I came across to this info wich I believe is not right.
As you can see, it says that you can limit team creation to admins only, I think it meant to say Channels?
To my knowledge you can only limit teams creation by limiting Office 365 groups creation using Powershell and it requieres a P1 azure license. Is the option listed below the one I marked.
Is it a typing mistake or is it actually posible to limit team creation that way?

Well if you simply disable creation for everyone (don't designate a group or designate an empty one), only admin users will be able to create new teams. This is what this option is referring to.
VasilMichev and how can you disable for everyone other than the powershell option with azure p1 that I mentioned. I didn't know you could any other way.
The P1 license is required only for users allowed to create groups, as clearly stated in the documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/admin/create-groups/manage-creation-of-groups?view=o365-worldwide#licensing-requirements
Licensing requirements
To manage who creates Groups, the following people need Azure AD Premium licenses or Azure AD Basic EDU licenses assigned to them:
- The admin who configures these group creation settings
- The members of the security group who are allowed to create Groups
The following people don't need Azure AD Premium or Azure AD Basic EDU licenses assigned to them:
- People who are members of Office 365 groups and who don't have the ability to create other groups.
