I have a use case where I would like to allow users to only create private teams sites but by exception be able to create a public teams site. Is this possible?

    Hi @Fernando Martinez ,

    Thank you for posting in this community.

    Unfortunately, there is no setting in sharepoint to change or restrict create private team sites or public team sites. This was manually selected when the site was created.
