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
It's hard to determine and sort through legitimate Power BI application workspaces and Teams-created workspaces that will never be used in Power BI. We have over 50 legitimate workspaces already and are now seeing Teams workspaces clutter our tenant. This is a terrible experience for our administrators.
RE: Disable or prevent Teams from autocreating App Workspace
Microsoft, not every Teams group needs a Power BI workspace. It really clutters up Power BI when one is created for each Teams group. Users then must sort through a bunch of workspaces to access the ones that are actually useful. If you think this isn't that big of an issue, then you overestimate the capabilities of the typical users. For my company which is just starting to use Power BI, careless design like this significantly hampers user adoption and negates my ability to sell Power BI to my senior executives (who are still unsure if they want Power BI).
Also, it’s careless design to not explicitly warn the user that by deleting a Power BI workspace they are also delete the Teams group. Right now the warning message is rather uninformative.
RE: Disable or prevent Teams from autocreating App Workspace
This doesn't happen for me, When I create a new Teams site, I get an O365 Group, but not a Power BI Workspace.
RE: Disable or prevent Teams from autocreating App Workspace
Good idea!!
RE: Disable or prevent Teams from autocreating App Workspace
I thought this common group scenario had been eliminated with the new App Workspace but clearly not. This is not a good experience. Please stop App Workspaces being created automatically. Members of Workspaces will not have Row Level Security applied and therefore automatically having Team members added to an App Workspace makes RLS redundant
RE: Disable or prevent Teams from autocreating App Workspace
Agree completely. Adding PowerBI workspaces automatically when they are not warranted or used is an admin headache.
RE: Disable or prevent Teams from autocreating App Workspace
Agreed that this is a major issue. We are in the early phases of implementing Power BI with the same governance model of preventing users from being able to create workspaces. In our case it is critical to our IT managed self-service model since the owner of the workspace is able to control security over the content, we need to be able to restrict who is able to create/own/manage a workspace.
RE: Disable or prevent Teams from autocreating App Workspace
We have a noticeable service governance problem with users complaining that they asked for a Microsoft Team to be created, but when the Team was provisioned, they also see a Power BI Workspace appear, which they did not ask for.
Please decouple Teams and Power BI Workspaces, as they are causing a headache for IT support.
RE: Disable or prevent Teams from autocreating App Workspace
We are getting overwhelmed with Workspaces created by teams. I turned off the ability for Workspaces to be created but now we are getting more than ever. Please disable the "feature"
RE: Disable or prevent Teams from autocreating App Workspace
Same problem in our organization, unautorized Workspaces are popping up, from Teams groups...
