I want to allow my users to create MySites but I do not want them to be able
to create sub-sites. I am sure they get this ability because they are
admins of their site so is there a way to make it so when they create the
site they are not the admin? Surely I am not the first person to try to do
this?

Thanks

Hi Shane , You can create a non collaborative My Site. Although making these
changes will only affect new users creating a My Site , Whenever I have set
this up on systems that already have users they continue to have their full
My Site, Here is the process :

1. Portal Home - Site Settings
2. General Settings - Manage Security & Additional Settings
3. Users & Permissions - select Manage Site Groups
4. Add a group and call it something like non collaborative my site users
5. on the list of permissions for this group select only the checkbox for
Use personal features

Now create a new user in AD , then in portal import your profiles again and
add the new user to the reader group and also the new site group , Do not
add them to the member group.
Logon as the user and click My Site and they should not have the ability to
create any new sites.
This setting may be too restrictive for what you want though if you still
want them to have access to features like Private Documents.
