New Office 365 Group not shown when creating new Planner Plan

Our organization created a new Private Office 365 Group (not a Team) but when creating a new Planner Plan this group is not shown as an option to assign the Plan to. We've created Private O365 Groups...

Michael Mitchell ,

I found a possible solution in my development environment that when I added the Owner as a Member of the same Office 365 Group that the group appears while creating a new Plan in Planner. I'm not sure if this was intended by Microsoft a user has to be both Owner & Member of the same Group or if only members have the option of associating new Plans with the group. It was unclear in the documentation online.

What the actual F. 

This is exactly what worked. Went into Admin, added the owners as members as well, signed out and back in, and bam, could add planners now. 

This is a bug, and needs to be addressed. Owners should be able to add anything to anywhere in their Team. Goodness.

    I'm an owner of two Teams/Groups. As far as I know, I'm not a separate member of either. In fact, I can't seem to figure out on my own how to add myself as a member without removing ownership. 

     

    One team shows as an option when adding a plan, the other does not. I have changed the names of both teams in the past, so I don't believe it is that,

     

    Any thoughts?
