Enterprise resource management and allocation in Plan 5
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?
That is a very good question and I would like the answer to that myself. In our company we have now been using the accelerator app for about a year. The installation went pretty smoothly using the Github link I shared. For us, the only person with Plan 5 license is myself and everyone else is on Plan3 but we haven't yet tested the resource management side of things so I am not sure if they would have access to it all or no?
My suggestion is to get an appointment with the Microsoft Account Manager assigned to your company (or if you have a Microsoft's partner as your provide then you need to contact them to figure it out). They should be able to help you navigate this and get to the bottom of it.
