Default sharing settings on new sites?

Does anyone know if there is a way to modify default settings for creating new site? I am mainly interested in modifying default sharing options so that only owners can share. We have a customer where multiple people create sites, and they often leave sharing settings unchanged, and we would like to limit sharing to owners only as default.

    Daedalos Several ways to do this:

     

    Use Azure Automation and a scheduled PowerShell task to disable members from sharing

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/ 

    Set-SPOSite -Identity https://contoso.sharepoint.com -DisableSharingForNonOwners

     Create a Site Design to automate the setting or even multiple settings post creation:

    Hope that helps.
