UPDATE: SharePoint Online team sites + Office 365 Groups moving beyond First Release
Is there a way to turn off this functionality for a tenant? As an education client, I do not want all my student created groups to have sharepoint team sites. We use other services for this purpose.
You manage this at the Office 365 groups level, where you determine who you wish to be able to create groups, and who cannot. The "create site" button on the SharePoint home will comply with this admin control.
Hope that helps,

We want students to be able to create groups. But we dont want them to have all of the components that are being added to groups. So we need the ability to turn parts on or off for groups. Or to create a default configuration of items that get provisioned automatically for groups and then the ability to add or subtract items by group. So lets say i want the default for my tenant to be that groups do NOT get a team site or a shared notebook automatically. Then if I have a particular group that does need one or both of these things, i can provision the items just to that group
- Just to be sure: so, if you have set the admin control to not creating groups for some people, will they still be able to create a modern SP site? Or will they not be able to create a site or a group?
