- If you want to enable some, but not all, of your users to create groups, you can assign those users a role that can create groups, such as [Groups Administrator](../roles/permissions-reference.md#groups-administrator).

- These settings are for users and don't impact service principals. For example, if you have a service principal with permissions to create groups, even if you set these settings to **No**, the service principal will still be able to create groups.

### Why were the group settings changed?
93
-
94
-
The previous implementation of the group settings were named **Users can create security groups in Azure portals** and **Users can create Microsoft 365 groups in Azure portals**. The previous settings only controlled group creation in Azure portals and did not apply to API or PowerShell. The new settings control group creation in Azure portals, as well as, API and PowerShell. The new settings are more secure.

96
-
The default values for the new settings have been set to your previous API or PowerShell values. There is a possibility that the default values for the new settings are different than your previous values that controlled only the Azure portal behavior. Starting in May 2021, there was a transition period of a few weeks where you could select your preferred default value before the new settings took effect. Now that the new settings have taken effect, you are required to verify the new settings are configured for your organization.
