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.

The Power BI team gets overflooded with Workspace from Teams, this need to stop. Please MS implement a function that allows us to disable autocreating from teams

RE: Disable or prevent Teams from autocreating App Workspace


Agreed. In waiting for the tool to convert classic to new workspaces, we've started cleanup of classic workspaces, teams adoption is generating new classic ones faster.
If you delete the workspace in PowerBI, it heads on back and deletes the teams group!
We've got governance constraints on the ability to spin up new workspaces to reduce sprawl, and along comes Teams and creates more.
It also bypasses the governance structure we have in constraining the creation of workspaces, by letting classic ones pop up with admin members.

Absolutely agree, this is really annoying. I understand MS folks don't see this as a problem, because anytime you see somebody's contents, it's a mess of all sorts of workspaces and reports. But in the business environment, it really affects the user experience negatively..
