Inside our SharePoint admin center >> Settings >> i define the following settings for site creation (mainly to allow end users to create classic team sites), as follow:-

But when users try to create new sites (from their sharepoint home page), they will get this error:-

so can anyone advice on this please? Thanks

This issue occurs because the user who is trying to create the site doesn't have Create Subsites permissions for the site collection where he or she is trying to create the site. You must provide Create Subsites permissions to the users.

Refer to: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/-you-are-not-allowed-to-create-team-sites-error-message-when-you-click-new-site-on-the-sharepoint-online-followed-sites-page-7814e132-1a9f-4f3a-a1b1-5f7850a0a7c8

  • Check if the user is a SharePoint Administrator in the Microsoft 365 admin center. – LZ_MSFT Dec 7 '18 at 1:21
