Workspaces being created automatically

[Anonymous]

For some reason, everytime someone creates an Office 365 Group a corresponding Power BI Workspace is being created... 

This did not used to happen in our enviroment...   

Need to know what to tell our IT Admins as to why this is happening...

Any help / advice..  It's creating a nightmare for Power BI users when they get a unmanageable list of Workspaces 90% of which do not have any content.. 

Thanks in advance

It would appear that you are creating the classic workspaces and NOT the new Workspaces.

Unless they have been created a long time ago when they were all classic workspaces?

Hi @Anonymous ,

If you can create a new workspace using New Workspace experience, It's not going to create any background office 365 groups, means it’s not going to show up in place likes outlook, Microsoft teams, OneDrive that took advantage of Office 365 groups.

For more details on New workspace experience, you can check out this blog

Amit, The problem/challenge is that Workspaces are being created everytime an O365 Group is being created... which is creating a very long list of Power BI Workspaces that shoudl NOT be there.. 

We are taking full advantge of the new workspace experience...

HI @Anonymous ,

I am not sure you are using new workspance experiecne but still you can see Office 365 groups, This should not to be happen.
Coming to restrict the user, I will suggest to "control the users that can create a workspace" under tenant setting as per @GilbertQ  guidelines.

Hi there

Yes this does happen by default when creating a V1 App Workspace.

If creating a V2 App Workspace it appears to create a teams site.

There is an option in the tenant settings to only allow certain groups or users to create app workspaces. Which can help limit how many get created.
