Please introduce a global setting to Prevent Teams from creating PowerBi App Workspace automatically when creating a new Team. As the new Workspaces are detached from Teams/Groups this should be a setting to prevent the App Workspaces beeing clotted with empty Workspaces from all our Teams.

RE: Disable or prevent Teams from autocreating App Workspace

The risk here is that we all waste heaps of time navigating through workspaces. The irony of it all is that the person who created the workspace via Teams didn't know they were doing it and never even us Power BI

RE: Disable or prevent Teams from autocreating App Workspace

This is critical! Our Power BI Tenant is being littered with classic/legacy workspaces. We are teaching our users only about new workspace experiences and it is very confusing for our user base. MS Team creation must be disconnected from auto creating Power BI workspaces! There is NO workaround, because if you delete the legacy/classic workspace it deletes the MS Team/Office365 Group etc as well.

RE: Disable or prevent Teams from autocreating App Workspace

This is critical. The control and overview are becoming to complicated. Please enhance the application to allow to block this!!

Isn't this because they are creating AAD Groups rather than Teams Groups?

RE: Disable or prevent Teams from autocreating App Workspace

Makes it virtually impossible to maintain control and rigour, too much flexibility in this instance is not a good thing. Needs to be rectified asap.

RE: Disable or prevent Teams from autocreating App Workspace

This is beyond a joke now. PowerBI spams groups which make the portal admin and user experience poor.

MS, please sort this out! This is a key block to full enterprise implementation.

Alternatively, provide a way to filter out workspaces created by Teams in Power BI service.

RE: Disable or prevent Teams from autocreating App Workspace

Agreed. From a governance perspective, this is an absolute necessity. We have just purchased an enterprise-wide license and rolling out reports, dashboards, and apps via a managed Power BI Service environment is proving challenging with the current auto-create settings. Please, add the ability for administrators to turn off auto-creation of workspaces ASAP!
