Hi @nkt 

You could let your Power BI administrator check the following settings in Admin portal: Admin portal > Tenant settings > Workspace settings > Block classic workspace creation. If it is enabled, it will not create a workspace automatically along with the new group.

If the creation of classic workspace isn't blocked, please check the members of this group. Do you add members into the group? If it only has admins without members, it will not create a workspace automatically. Only when you add at least one member (you can add yourself as a member) in it, it will create a workspace then.
