Turn off ability to create teams
Hi all, From a safeguarding and child protection point of view, in a school environment, it is not appropriate to allow students or staff to create new teams. Can the ability to disable team cr...
We also have had a A1 plan with Azure Basic which should be included. It is difficult to setup the process but it should be supported to disable this feature.

Hi, I can briefly share, how we do it (we have an organization where after final migration approx. 155.000 users are active, so we govern Teams). We have created a group in Azure. This group was given the right to create groups. The creation itself however is done via our SW Portal, people fill out a short request form, we approve or decline and then a team in the backgroud utilizes Graph API for the creation, however Teams Part on top of Group still is done manually (until the API is GA, so soon this manual part will vanish).
