Disabling site creation in the SharePoint admin center
We have temporarily turned off the ability for users to create Communications sites, because we have some governance and communication decisions to make... I followed https://support.office.com/en-gb...
So I understand this a little differently - and specifically the SharePoint admin console states - "Show the Create site command to users who have permission to create sites".
We have disabled users creating Office 365 Groups self service, but enabling this actually shows everyone the create site button, but tells them access denied.
Based on this article, the statement of "Show the users..." is false then? Is there a command or group that we can set so that only particular people can create new sites? And Sites only, not groups...

- Well, the thing here is that IMHO there is an inconsistente in how this should work...if you are disabling Groups creation in your tenant by means of the Azure AD policy, the Create Site option should allow you to create only communication sites (no modern SPO Sites since they are linked to Groups) since these are not tied to an Office 365 Group
