This new capability will provide admins with the ability to lock down tenant creation to decide whether they want their users to create more tenants.
The ability for users to create tenants from the Manage Tenant overview has been present in Azure AD since almost the beginning of the Azure portal. The Tenant Creation Lockdown capability (Restrict non-admin users from creating tenants) will provide admins with the ability to restrict tenant creation to decide whether they want their users to create more tenants. We have also created the Tenant Creator role, which will allow users assigned to this role to create new tenants.

When this will happen
Preview: We began rolling out mid-November and expect to complete by mid-December.
How this will affect your organization
The feature gives tenant administrators the ability to lock down tenant creation by their users and restrict it to only users with Tenant Creator or Global administrator role.
What you need to do to prepare
Tenant administrators can choose to restrict non-admin users to create more tenants, once the feature is available in their tenant.
