SharePoint admin center: Updates for site creation settings

This post informs about an update that gives SharePoint admins more control over site creation settings by introducing an additional layer of control, which provides granular decisions over what mechanisms sites can be created from by users. This update will begin rolling out in early September for targeted users and in late September for standard users, completing by early October. The site creation settings panel within the SharePoint admin center will show a new option to control site creation, in addition to the current option of showing the option to create sites. Default option is ON by default, with both checkboxes checked. If customized settings disable site creation, the nested checkbox will be unchecked while the top level remains enabled. No preparation is required for users and changes to any other options in the Site creation panel won’t be affected.

Overall, these updates offer better control and increased flexibility over site creation settings, enabling admins to manage site creation in SharePoint more efficiently.
