Preparing for Planner’s New Roster Containers
Microsoft will soon introduce roster containers to Planner. These are plans without Microsoft 365 Groups that apparently are tied to some mysterious new functionality. Because we have no idea what ...
Anyone know what the status is on this? I've just started reading up on this and was this, all the documentation on the subject still seems incomplete and I'm a bit surprised to see over a year later there's still no user UI. I've confirmed allow roster creation is enabled and followed the directions here to create a roster for myself but I still don't see anything in planner. Everything I've read indicates it should be visible with the rest of my plans. I'm trying to figure out if I'm just missing something or if this feature was never actually released.

I've managed to create a Roster and create a plan in the Roster.
You need to follow the documentation to create a Roster, then you can create a Plan by calling a POST to beta/planner/plans with a request body like this:{"container": {"@odata.type": "microsoft.graph.plannerPlanContainer","containerId": "{RosterID}","type": "roster"},"title": "My Roster"}Where {RosterID} is the id returned when you created the plan.
If you then sign into Planner for the user who is a member of the Roster, you should see your new Roster Plan in there - you can add members via the ui, add tasks etc. It doesn't seem to appear in Tasks by Planner in Teams though, only Planner itself.
