It means users that can create groups can see that button. You can restrict users who can create 365 groups and it piggy backs off that permission. Otherwise you turn it off for everyone.
AndrewWarland Can you share that powershell script to restrict ability to create site to particular security group? Where to run? Any links for reference?
Hi again Pawan_Satope
Tony Redmond's Office 365 Guide includes the directions to restrict the creation of Groups as outlined below:
- Create either a Security Group for users who will be able to create a group. Maybe name it: O365_GROUPS_Admin
- Add users. These users must have O365 accounts.
- Create (via Powershell) an Azure Active Directory policy to disable group creation to the group just created.
- Retrieve the object identifier (ObjectID) for the authorised group.
- Use Powershell to update the AAD policy
- Run Get-MsolAllSettings - TargetType Gruops | ForEach Values to confirm that 'EnableGroupCreation' is False.
