End user just created a Team from a SharePoint Site but shouldn't be able to.
Thats the issue - the Office 365 group is already created so locking down group creation doesnt have an effect on this scenario.
At the moment there doesnt appear to be a way to stop this - see this thread - with reference to user voice - https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-teams/locking-down-team-creation/m-p/143583
Looks like a general comms needs to go out to SharePoint Site owners to tell them not to do it.
Hi tedewaard ,
The SharePoint team site wasn't already in an Office 365 Group from what you are saying?

Hey Andrew Hodges ,
So we created a SharePoint team site, which then created an Office 365 group but doesn't automatically create a Microsoft Team (we are working to roll out Teams to the org but started with SharePoint sites a few months ago). So the user was an owner of the Group and he was then able to create a Team. The big issue being it sent out emails to 200 users welcoming them to their new Microsoft Team and telling them to login but we haven't rolled it out to them.

Ahh that's what I was afraid of. Thank you for confirming!! And yep, drafting it right now.
- Pretty sure group creation blocks even creating a team from an existing group if my memory serves right. Where they created this Team was probably from the SharePoint advertisement to create a team from there. I really hate this thing they added.
There is a way to turn those site ads off for owners but I got to see if I can find that out. It’s going to be powershell you would have to run against your sites the will suppress that option but when I get in tomorrow I’ll see if I can verify my thinking here and find that command.
