Restricting Edit Permissions in Microsoft Planner
Hello everyone, I'm currently using Microsoft Planner for project management and collaboration within my team. However, I've encountered a challenge and would appreciate some guidance. Is there a way to configure Microsoft Planner so that only specific individuals, such as my manager, have the ability to make changes to the tasks and plans, while others can only view them? Essentially, I'm looking to prevent general team members from altering the plan, while granting full editing rights to my manager. Any tips, tricks, or insights on how to set this up would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance!HamidBeeFeb 08, 2025Copper Contributor6.8KViews2likes7CommentsMS Planner board doesn't follow my regional date format
The dates at the Board of my MS planner appear in the US format, e.g. the 25th of July appears as 07/25. This is very confusing in the european environment. I have tried to changed that. I went to https://myaccount.microsoft.com/settingsandprivacy/language and I set the regional date format to 25/07. Unfortunately the board still shows the dates in the US format. Any idea how to fix that?lefteravFeb 07, 2025Copper Contributor10KViews3likes12CommentsMicrosoft Planner @Mention and Comment Notification in Microsoft Teams - NEW VERSION
Hi Planner Community, Thank you for the overwhelming support for my original post last year on how to @mention someone within the Microsoft Planner community and have a message automatically emailed to them. I'm excited to share that I've completely redesigned and updated the solution to now support the new Microsoft Teams Planner and remove the issues some users found with setting up the solution. Additionally, the notification is now an adaptive card within the Microsoft Teams chat to the user you @mentioned in the Microsoft Planner comment. Screenshot example above shows a comment posted by me in a Microsoft Planner task where I’ve @mentioned David at the end of the message. Screenshot example above shows the comment posted by me in Planner being automatically sent to David (thanks to the @mention in the comment) on Microsoft Teams. Allowing David to reply in either the traditional Planner or new Teams Planner. Attached is a zip file containing the Microsoft Power Automate solution, along with a detailed walkthrough to help you set it up. Enjoy! If you download the solution, all I ask is that you please give this post a thumbs up. Thanks, everyone! Matthew Davis No More Bad Monday826Views0likes10CommentsCan't access portfolios solution
We have Planner and project P3. When we try to access My Portfolios from Planner in Teams we get a message that says "Looks like you don't have the latest portfolios solution installed Contact your admin to fix this" I am an admin, but I can't find any way to update portfolios to the latest version. Has anyone been able to access the portfolios feature? If so, how did you get it to work?

Hi everyone, Since the update on new planner I lost the "ability" of changing the date format from MM/DD to DD/MM only changing the "en-us" to "en-gb" in the address from the browser. Now the address changed and I'm suffering with this american date format. Any way to change this to DD/MM?SolvedpedromsqFeb 06, 2025Copper Contributor311Views0likes6CommentsResource Management with Planner
I as team leader must send members of my team to task forces. In order to see which team member I can choose for the task force I need to be able see quickly who has the least tasks in one or more projects. This means that I need to be able to make a plan where I see all the todos my team members are working on wihtin their respective plans. A master plan if you will that connects all plans of the respective members into one plan that is called resource management. Is that possible with MS Planner? Which Version do I need for that (Planner 1,3,5)? How does that work? Thank you!AsmirFeb 05, 2025Copper Contributor104Views0likes2CommentsPlanner - Need Enterprise Portfolio View
As PMO, I would like to create a Portfolio that shows ALL plans created across the organization --similar to how Project Online has the Project Center. I am a Project Online administrator and am able to see all projects in Project Online Project Center without users having to add me as member of each of their projects. Currently, in Project Online's Project Center, other non-admin users only see projects they have access to. I am looking for a way to get this same functionality I have with Project Center in Planner -- to create a portfolio where PMO can see high level across all plans. Keeping users to only see Plans to which they are part of their team. It seems like in Planner only shows me plans where I am part of the project team (0365 group). As PMO, I want to be able to see all plans. What is the best way to do this? Thank you for your time reading and thinking about potential solutions.

Hi, I create a task on an online excel sheet by adding a note and then adding "@" user. I tell it to assign the task to this person (me) an I get an email saying I've assigned myself a task. The question is where is the task? I can't find it anywhere, I've checked: Outlook, Office then Planner, Teams then Planner. I want to be able to track tasks in a spreadsheet but leverage the use of tasks.dmongelliFeb 05, 2025Copper Contributor280Views0likes1CommentWhere is Planner Hub, Calendar View, Connect to Outlook
What am I missing here? It seems that Planner no longer has a way to view multiple plans and tasks in a calendar. Previously you were able to plan days and the week by seeing multiple projects at one time. It also appears that there is no way to connect Planner to Outlook any more. What??? Seriously?? What is Microsoft thinking here? Just when things were literally starting to actually work together they roll back integration. Dear Microsoft: Integration is key for your ecosystem. I need to be able to use Planner to Plan. I need plans to show up in Todo and I need plans to show up in Outlook. I need them to look similar and have cross functionality. I need Teams to be integrated with all the other apps as well. MS Loop is promising but the lack of integration is astonishing. I can't even get it to show up in Teams. Great that I can add Planner to MS Loop but I can't add Loop to Teams (???). What about Onenote being able to add to Loop. I take hand written notes in Onenote. I can easily add my Onenote Notebook to Teams but I can't add to MS Loop???? Adding MS Loop to Onenote, I guess has some value - maybe, but the value is to be able to see my notebook INSIDE Loop without having to open up OneNote. Each app you created works and has specific functions but the integration needs to allow for seamless workflow instead of jumping around all over the place. I want to sit in planner to plan. But if I am in MS Loop and I am making notes from a meeting I want to be able to just access Planner within MS Loop (which I can and is great). But what if I have an email from a client that has a task within. Sure I can add it to ToDo..but you know what, now I have to do multiple steps to get into Plannner. Integration, integration, integration. Your ecosystem needs to work with high level cross functionality. And stop taking features away that are highly useable and improves workflow. Now I can't share Plans to my outlook???? seriously???? C'mon. This is why people leave your ecosystem. I have read in the forums that people are leaving to go Clickup because they focus on workflow. Personally, I think MS365 has promise and would prefer to stay here but you gotta listen to your customers on how they work and allow for workflows to happen and to customize to people's needs. But we can't work successfully if your products don't really talk to each other well. Your sole mission needs to be unrelentingly to help your customers work effeciently. If you can make me successful I will stay. It is the main reason people go to your competitors. Anything that can make work easier, more efficient, and allows us, YOUR customers, to be more successful will give your customers to stay in your ecosystem.jparker70211Feb 04, 2025Brass Contributor281Views7likes6CommentsMS Planner and MS Project
I am a project manager, and we want to use MS Project in our company. However, the program does not seem to be user-friendly. Is it possible to use the MS Project Desktop version and MS Project Online (PWA) simultaneously so that any information added is automatically updated in the other version? Additionally, I would like to know how to import an existing MS Project Desktop file into Project Online, as I am having trouble with this process. However, when creating a new project, I can open it in both PWA and the Project Desktop version. I would appreciate your help.RumiFeb 03, 2025Copper Contributor73Views0likes2Comments
