Creating groups within Teams

Copper Contributor

Hello,

    There has to be a way to allow my users to create Groups within Teams and restrict them from creating O365 groups within Outlook, right? I really dont want users to be creating groups left and right.

 

Thank you, any assistance is appreciated!

Not really! You have to restrict group creation overall. Depending on the workloads you can create workflows for creating them according to your governance model
Darn! Well I think the main thing is to keep the GAL as "clean" as possible. Any chance to be able to hide 0365 groups created within Outlook by default?

I don't know about default, but there is a setting (coincidentally I answered the converse question about this topic recently).  From https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/teams/new-team?view=teams-ps#parameters:

 

"If you want these groups to appear in Outlook clients, you can use the Set-UnifiedGroup (https://docs.microsoft.com/powershell/module/exchange/set-unifiedgroup) cmdlet in the Exchange Powershell Module to disable the switch parameter `HiddenFromExchangeClientsEnabled` (-HiddenFromExchangeClientsEnabled:$false)."

 

Use the Set-UnifiedGroup -HiddenFromExchangeClientsEnabled:$true parameter on the specific group to hide the group from showing in any mail client.
