@Crod ,
Could you create a team from Teams client or Teams admin center?
Please confirm with IT admin if he configures the following settings properly:
- check if Create private channels is enabled in Microsoft Teams admin center > Teams polices > Global(Org-wide default).
- check if you are limited to create a group. For more details, please read this article.
