Enterprise resource management and allocation in Plan 5
I am very new to this myself but we have installed the "Project" add-on which is a Microsoft PowerAutomate model driven app and in that there are some resource management tools. It might be referring to that? See this video it shows some of the features: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbN6iLWzvyo

That link takes you to a 3rd party provider. I want this which is supposed to be part of Planner and Project Plan 5. I can see the Advanced Portfolio Managment but not the Resource Management:

My apologies I shared the wrong link. The Power Apps Project accelerator that you can install is this which is contributed to by Microsoft: Introducing the Project Accelerator | Microsoft Community Hub
this is the Git-hub link to install it: https://github.com/OfficeDev/Project-Accelerator
This is the only place that I was able to find the resource management functionality.
And here is an overview video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrqeRyKmnXY
and kind of how the resource management is supposed to work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brxOqHjMd-o

This has been super helpful. Thank you for the reply. But I am still curious what Microsoft means by "Enterprise Resource Management and Allocation" which costs an extra $25/mo/user. By reading the feature comparison above, it looks like it is something native. Not a whole separate power app. As a side note, I still can't get the accelerator installed and my Admins have limited knowledge in this space.
Do you need Plan 5 to use the Accelerator or would Plan 3 suffice? I just don't know what we are paying for right now as none of it works.
Also, how do we get to the bottom of this? Do I need to ask our admins to open a support ticket with Microsoft or is there some better way?
