Restrict Users from Creating Sites from SharePoint Start Page.

SharePoint and Office 365 Global Administrators can prevent users from setting up their own sites. This option is enabled by default, and it enables each employee to set up and manage their own SharePoint site (s).

Steps to stop user from creating SharePoint sites.

1. Verify whether users have the option to create sites:
   Users can easily construct Team and Communication sites by clicking the "Create Site" button on the SharePoint start page, as was already explained.
   
   To restrict user(s) from creating SharePoint sites, Global and SharePoint admins need to follow the steps below.
   
   
   
   
   
2. Go to the Microsoft 365 Admin center section
   Click on the app launcher and select 'Admin'
   
   
   
   
   
3. From the left pane, click "Show all".
   
   
   
   
   
4. Under ‘Admin Center’ select ‘SharePoint’.
   
   
   
   
   
5. From the 'SharePoint admin centre' menu, choose 'Settings', than 'Site creation'.
   
   
   
   
   
6. Uncheck "Let users create sites from the SharePoint start page and OneDrive" from the right pane. Click "Save" to prevent people from creating new sites.
   
   
   
   
   
7. Go back to the SharePoint start page. You will see that the button to "Create site" is no longer there.
   
   
   
   
   

When putting up new sites, organisations need to have a careful plan. So, they can figure out how to run the process best for their organisation. Often, this means limiting the number of people who can make sites, so your organisation can focus their efforts.

Through the steps above, users can't make SharePoint sites. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment below. For more questions, you can also contact me at bhupenra@sharepointguruji.com.
