Turn off ability to create teams
We also have had a A1 plan with Azure Basic which should be included. It is difficult to setup the process but it should be supported to disable this feature.

Adding group creation restriction does require Azure AD Premium for anyone included in the group you assign to be able to create groups / teams
From what I understand you can easily create the group creation restriction policy without being assigned the appropriate Azure AD Premium licences, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's not a requirement to be compliant?
"Doing the steps in this article requires a subscription to Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Premium. The administrator who configures the settings, and the members of the affected groups, must have Azure AD Premium licenses assigned to them"- Yeah, I just learned about that this week. Just the admins that can create Teams that are in this "restricted group" need a license to be compliant.
- Thanks Scott. I tried it and it worked. Many thanks.
