Creation control — manage who can create items on your plan, now available!
August 27, 2026
Creation control is a new opt-in Admin Center setting that lets System Administrators govern who can create items on their plan. When enabled, only users on an approved creator list can create, move, and duplicate sheets, reports, dashboards, and workspaces — all other Members keep their existing access to view, comment on, and edit items. Designating someone as a creator is a permission change only; it doesn't change their seat type or add to billing. Creation control is off by default and reversible, and it doesn't affect existing items or workflows — only the creation of new ones. It's a fit for regulated industries and large enterprises that need to govern who can build.
