    You need something like the Group administrator role, or alternatively you need to relax the requirements for creating groups (which wont affect the admin portal, but you will be able to use the Teams client to "teamify" a group).

    @SR VSP ,

    By defaults, all users can create team. This is the recommended approach because it allows users to start collaborating without requiring assistance from IT.

    Your company may have set a policy restricting who can create Office 365 groups or teams. It needs you check with your IT admin to understand your company’s policy for creating policy for creating groups and teams.

    As a supplement, you can learn more from this article about how to manage who can create Microsoft 365 Groups.
