## Overview

Restricts the creation of Entra ID (Azure AD) tenants to the global administrator or tenant creator roles. Anyone who creates a tenant will become the global administrator for that tenant.

Restrict tenant creation by non-admin users. Users assigned the Tenant Creator role can still create tenants when this setting is false.
