Turn Off "Create Site"/Office 365 Group on OneDrive Page?
Why don't sys admins want to let users to create teamsites from onedrive? What's the downside of it?
I understand that for some users the option might be confusing as they might not understand what a teamsite is and why is their new onedrive suddenly empty and with a different look. But for advanced users who understand what a teamsite is, why shouldn't they be able to create teamsites without the support of IT, as they feel the need for a teamsite?
I can only speak for the sys admins in my company. We have a governance in place, we have a set of requirements such as a mandatory site owner training and we use specific team site templates (based on classic templates) to create the sites.
We also create entries in our ITSM system for every site collection provisioned which captures who owns it and we ask every year (workflow) whether the site is still in use or can be archived and deleted.
Therefore, it is important for us that the sites are created centrally by the sys admins and not by the users.
