Disable Create/Edit Teams Sites BUT allow owner to manage members?
- Hi! Being able to create teams and have edit rights as an owner including managing memberships is 2 different thing!
So yes, the owner will not be able to create new Teams but will be able to edit and manage membership in the team in which he/she is owner of

So if I use the method you suggested to disable create group option for O365 (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/admin/create-groups/manage-creation-of-groups?view=o365-worldwide), would a team Owner still have the option to manage the membership to that team (even if he/she is restricted in creating a new team/group)?
For example: Team Site 'Finance' is created by an admin. John Smith is assigned as a Team owner. He does not have create or edit rights because the create office 365 groups option has been restricted. Would John Smith still be able to add/remove members to the 'Finance' Team's site or would this need to go up to the admin to manage the members?

adam deltingerI have one other caveat that I wanted to clarify. You mentioned that being able to create teams and edit rights are 2 different things. Does that mean an owner who is restricted from creating a Team Site/Group can still edit the name of a Team Site/Group (as well as managing the site/group membership)?
If yes, is there a way from stopping users/owners from editing a Team Site Name without taking away their right to manage members? We would have an approval process in place so once a name has been approved, we don't want owners to modify this and breach naming conventions.
- No there isn’t any way of having an owner doing membership and edits! That’s the purpose of the owner. In that case I gave a scenario where only an admin is owner
- Thanks Adam. That's really useful and answers the question.
