The issue I've found with is there will be a "Join" button at the top of the page, allowing the user to join the team without the Owner's approval. Then you're right back to square 1 - They have editing capabilities in the Planner as well as access to the entire team.
- Unfortunately this is not a full solution as anyone with the link can also join the group (without needing owner permission) and then start causing mayhem by deleting, editing, etc. (deliberately or accidently).
