New Office 365 Group not shown when creating new Planner Plan
@All
I have several situations where, as an admin, I need to see what's going on, but don't need to be able to do everything with it. Adding myself as an "owner" lets me add users as members, clean a few things up, moderate a little or delegate a bot, and generally keep an eye on things, without allowing me to do much more. I usually temporarily add myself as a member, then remove it once the main structure is working, and they have been trained on it. Once I'm out of members, they take over. I leave one group\team available for IT projects and another as a learning annex. The first is where they can pose questions or ask for help, the other is just a playground for them to test things out, and if it works out, they can move it where they need it later. I generally clean these out by hand or use retention policies to clear them at the end of a month, with a flow that stores the text of any chats or posts with the date\time stamps. This has worked out pretty well. Since they can all set up a plan, add to calendars and share data easily, they only need me accessible about 3months, then they only need a spot check a few times a month. It saves me time, being able to add other owners\members, and it keeps me from messing up what they build with my own logical or illogical thinking. The product must fit what they want and need, not the other way around. Remember that.
