Is there a way to disable users from creating office 365 groups?
I came to know that we can disable the users from creating office 365 groups globally. According to Office article we can give permission to only one or few groups to create groups permission using ...
open a Powershell session to Exchange online
export the settings of the default owamailbox policy
Get-OwaMailboxPolicy -identity default | Export-Csv C:\policy.csv
then create a new-owamailboxpolicy with the same settings as default

after that edit the policy
Set-OwaMailboxPolicy -GroupCreationEnabled $false -Identity OwaMailboxPolicy:NewPolicy
And finally assign the policy to the user
Set-CASMailbox -Identity user@domain.com -OwaMailboxPolicy:NewPolicy
The steps are exactly as described on the Microsoft documentation. Disable group creation for all users with Powershell. Give group creation permissions to a security group. Make alle users that are allowed to make groups member of this security group. In your case that means all users except one.
