3. Click on "Personalization services permissions" under the group "User Profiles and My Sites"
4. Click on the group "NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users" if it exists in that list and untick the option "Create Personal Site" and click save.
5. Using the menu on the permissions page, add the SharePoint group that you want to give permissions to
