Managing Permission to Create Spaces
TL;DR
Account owners and admins can control which types of spaces regular users are allowed to create. By default, only admins and owners can create spaces, but they can grant regular users permission to create Public, Private, and (on Pinnacle accounts) Locked spaces, while also managing these permissions through account security settings.

Account owners and admins can manage space creation settings.
By default only account owners and admins have the permission to create new spaces of all types. But you can grant the right to create new spaces to regular users and to set which types of spaces regular users are allowed to create.
Tip
You can restrict some account admins from creating certain types of spaces by editing their admin permissions.

Select Settings 2 from the dropdown menu.

Check or uncheck the boxes next to the relevant space types: Public, Private, or Locked* 5.
Note
If you allow regular users to create locked spaces, they can only add members to a locked space while creating it. After the space is created, they won't be able to manage the space members list.
