Can GUESTS access t Premium Plan in Teams?

I created a Teams Team and want to manage a premium plan project therein. I have the Planner-Plan 1 license.

One external supplier is a guest in my Team but he cannot see the Premium plan. Is this by design or is there any wrong setting in my system?

I could not find any information on this in the Microsoft documentation.

Facts

  • The guest user is part of the team

    Guests can access Microsoft Teams, but they don’t have their own Teams Premium license. They can still join meetings and collaborate, and in some cases use Premium features if the host has a Teams Premium plan. However, full Premium access is only available to licensed users within the organization.

    This worked for us, thanks to Claude for finding out. Now your guests need Planner Plan 1 license to access premium features.

     

    Fix Dataverse guest access

     

    Go to the Power Platform admin center → Security Hub → Identity and access → Guest access, locate the Default environment, and toggle the setting to Off (Allowed).
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/security/guest-access

     

    Alternatively via PAC CLI:

    pac env update-settings --environment "<your-default-env-url>" --name "restrictGuestUserAccess" --value false

    Or check the current value first:

    pac env list-settings --environment "<your-default-env-url>" --filter "guest"

     

     

    explanation:

    Planner Premium (Plan 1, formerly "Project for the web") stores all its project data in your Power Platform Default Dataverse environment, not in Exchange/SharePoint like basic Planner. By default, guest access to Dataverse is restricted for all new environments. When guest access is restricted, guest users cannot connect to Dataverse, query or modify data, or run any apps that rely on Dataverse. Microsoft Learn
