Power Automate create tasks in Planner Premium plans
Hello, I noticed that Planner Premium plans still have a projectId rather than a groupId. Using the planner connector in PowerAutomate I am able to find all tasks (tasks of premium plans and non premium plans), however, when I want to create a new task I can only find the non premium plans and it seems to be not possible to create a task in a premium plan using the planner connector in PowerAutomate. Is there a reliable workaround I can use (e.g. using the graphAPI)? Best regards FabianRestricting 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!
New planner doesn't show a "schedule" view of tasks assigned to me from different plans
The new version of web-based Planner was enabled for me a few days ago, on November 17th. Apparently, I realized that one of the features I used is missing. At the "My Tasks" view, in the old version of Planner, one could choose to have different views, apart from the grid view. The most useful one for me was the "schedule" view, since I could see in one calendar, all assigned tasks from different plans/teams/projects. This functionality now seems to have been removed, and one can only see one separate schedule per plan.
Can we get Schedule view back?
When showing off Planner to a group of people today they noticed on an older, different plan the Schedule view, and really liked it. Of course, what I was showing them doesn't have that option anymore. Is it possible to to get this view back or if necessary, a "monthly" option within the "Timeline" view? Thanks
GCC-High and Planner/Project for the Web/Teams/PowerApps/Accelerator
I have so many questions and I'm not entirely sure where to post or what to start with. I know this is a lot and I thank you in advance for whichever parts you can answer or point me to the correct answer. I have already been digging (and digging…) through KB articles, but it's a lot to go through and my technical skills are more of an understanding (it's why I'm a PM ^_^). If I am unclear in anything please ask and I'll try to rephrase/explain. Company is in a GCC-High environment. Team: Dept Head - needs all the access necessary to manage all programs and report to C-suite PM1 - me - needs all the access necessary to manage the platform and projects PM2 & PM3 - needs access necessary to manage their own projects, create reports, assign resources No PowerBI and least amount of/no admin necessary I (PM1) am a program manager, helping implement/improve PM processes I have the Plan 3 license, but can be moved to the Plan 5 license I also have a PowerBI premium license I think we're all on a G3(?) license? I can't seem to find the page to login to and check again industry is manufacturing We do have "vanilla" D365 (and apparently D365 Project Operations was unusable) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Here's what I have to work with: Project Desktop/Project Online (prefer to get rid of this) Project for the Web (referred to here as PftW) "old" Planner Planner Premium is (by all accounts) not currently available for GCC-H Teams PowerApps (default environment) I really want Accelerator, but am still watching videos to try and figure out how to work it Most important stuff I'm trying to figure out: I will be the System Admin for our PM platform (Project for the Web, Planner, Project (PowerApp), Accelerator) What security roles do I need and where, especially in PowerApps? I can't find a screenshot of what's available so I have no idea what to research for will those security roles also cover PftW/Planner? Would I need any other permissions for Accelerator? Teams Apps: is the Project app in Teams available for GCC-H? everything I see says yes, but I can't find it in our "add-an-app" so I just want to make sure it is before I ask IT to go look again and enable it. Where does this pull from? Will it pull from PftW and planner? (since ours are kinda separate, sorta) Accelerator: IT would obvs need to deploy, but would each of us on Team be able to use it or it would need to be added for each user? Resource Management Groups/teams: Best way to assign a team (or sub-team) I cannot make groups, IT does not want to make more groups/teams We were able to get 1 team created with ALL members who would be assigned at least a task Can I create groups/teams within the resource management console in PowerApps that doesn't require any other resources (like an email/teams/sharepoint, etc?) My understanding: In PftW, you have to assign a project to a group. All projects are assigned to Group 1 (everyone) I want to: Assign a task to a "sub-group" like "Production" or "Engineering", but only one group can be assigned to a project Current workaround: make a new drop-down column OR use labels, but unsure if this would pull correctly into PowerApp/Accelerator Do I need any special permissions/security roles to manage resources in PowerApp? If you made it this far, I really appreciate it. I thank you for any help/insight you can offer.
Can't leave a plan
Hi, I am new to Planner. I am a university student with Microsoft Planner, and I have been added to a plan shared with a group named "EOP Anti-Spam Inbound Junk Email Folder." I can't find the option anywhere to leave the plan, and the group doesn't appear in my Outlook group tabs. The plan also shows that there are over 16,000 group members. Could this somehow be tied to my organization? I don't want this plan to clog up my "My Plans" page, but I can't find anything to help me know how to leave! ThanksPlanner Plan Backup Resolved
Just wrapped up an excellent nightly backup solution for your Plans! This Power Automate system captures your entire Microsoft Planner Plan, including checklist items, assigned names, dates, labels, and priorities, and generates a dated backup Excel file in SharePoint. Saying goodbye to worries about accidentally deleted tasks or plans . Additionally, I'm nearly finished with a backup import trigger that will generate a new Planner Plan with any of this nightly generated back up files as needed. I'm also exploring the option of incorporating comments into the backup file soon. Certainly know a way to make it happen! This automation is part of a larger course/solution package I'm developing. Other upcoming features include automatic assignment of unique project codes (you can catch a glimpse of it in the title column), auto-assignment of staff based on labels (for instance, if your yellow label is labeled Marketing, it automatically assigns everyone in marketing when used), working comment notifications and more. I'm eager to hear your thoughts on this backup solution, and if enough people want it just @mention me in the comments below. Suggestions also always welcome!Enterprise resource management and allocation in Plan 5
Hi, In the Compare work management offerings page which compare Planner/Project Plans 1, 3 & 5, it states that the Plan 5 includes Enterprise resource management and allocation capability. I'm struggling to locate information what are the specific extra features come with this capability... I have Plan 3 now and since there is no trial version for Plan 5, I'll be glad to get this information before deciding if it worth investing in a Plan 5 license. Can you elaborate what are these features which are unique to Plan 5 in general and specifically to the enterprise resource mgmt part? If possible, also please provide some examples of screenshots. Thanks.
