As it said, it is really impossible of out-of-box. But you can add ListAdding eventreceiver for the web and implement custom logic inside receiver, which will allow or deny list of library creating based on user group or role.<br />

Is it possible to enhance someone's permissions such that they are able to create document libraries, but not create new lists?<br />
<br />
Also, is it possible to make it so that they're not able to create new metadata columns?<br />

I'm speaking of SharePoint 2007.

Microsoft Sharepoint is a software platform and family of software products used for collaboration and web publishing combined. These capabilities include developing web sites, portals, intranets, content management systems, search engines, wikis, blogs, and other tools for business intelligence and collaboration. SharePoint has a Microsoft Office-like interface, and it is closely integrated with the Office suite.
