Good morning! How do I make it so only certain people can create SharePoint sites? I've been researching but didn't really find anything!

Thanks!

    To prevent users to create Sharepoint site linked to office 365 and only allow some of them to create, create a group of users and grant the right to only that group of user to create group.

    Now, you can also block the creation of all sharepoint sites and grant the "sharepoint admin role" to user who should do it.
