Disable channel creation

Hi, Is there a global setting to prevent users from creating new channels? I can only find a way to disable private channels, but nothing for ordinary channels? -Michael

miclarsen1 Hi! I believe you're looking for 'Set-Team' and the -AllowCreateUpdateChannels parameter.

ChristianBergstrom "Set-Team" changes settings for 1 team not all. Is there a setting at tenant level?

sam919 Hi, try working with the Teams templates. But bear in mind you cannot use TAC (Teams admin center) because the team settings will not follow when using the GUI (don't ask me why). So, PowerShell or MS Graph for Teams is the way to go here.

  ChristianJBergstrom What setting is that though? I want to change the default for all teams not 1 team at a time.

    Understood already.
    
    The settings for members and guests when using PowerShell is called AllowCreateUpdateChannels and AllowGuestCreateUpdateChannels
    
    When using Graph
    "memberSettings":
    "allowCreateUpdateChannels": false
    "guestSettings"
    "allowCreateUpdateChannels": false
