Is there a way to disable users from creating office 365 groups?
open a Powershell session to Exchange online
export the settings of the default owamailbox policy
Get-OwaMailboxPolicy -identity default | Export-Csv C:\policy.csv
then create a new-owamailboxpolicy with the same settings as default

after that edit the policy
Set-OwaMailboxPolicy -GroupCreationEnabled $false -Identity OwaMailboxPolicy:NewPolicy
And finally assign the policy to the user
Set-CASMailbox -Identity user@domain.com -OwaMailboxPolicy:NewPolicy
I think i haven't conveyed the thing properly seems. I don't want to delete the user from group. I want to un-check/set the property for a user to not create a group either from UI (admin center) or PowerShell.

if the screenshot doesn't appear. I think this is what your looking for located in azure AD instead of office365, i was wondering the same thing, i haven't tested it put it appears to be the setting
Same answer I have included in the question. But I am checking at user level not at group level.
I got the answer. Thanks for your time.
- I think the answer to your question is Yes.
If you follow the article and add All Users to the "Allowed Group", then you can remove users with just one clic. Sorry,
I have asked is there option at user level to configure. But none of the response has straight answer Yes or no. Finally I understand that seems there is no way.
But as per office article, we can disable group creation at globally. Then create new group and give permission only to that group to create new group. Add the required users to whom I want to give permissions for group creation.
Please correct me if I am wrong
