Prevent members from leaving plans in Planner?
Is it possible to set permissions somewhere so that a member of a plan can't leave it themselves - only the owner of the group can remove them perhaps - so that the 'Leave plan' option doesn't show in the user's plan settings?
That's because it only takes a single click to leave, and obviously this also removes the member from all associated tasks, etc., so it's quite an issue if it's done accidentally, which we have had happen.
This issue is is exacerbated by the fact that there is no confirmation dialogue if the user clicks to leave - they just click and instantly they're gone from everything associated with that plan. In fact, if there *were* a confirmation dialogue, this wouldn't be an issue at all.

- Hi!
No, sorry! Members can opt out If they want!
PleAse vote on uservoice for making this harder to do by mistake:

What about re-adding a member to a plan that they have opted to leave. Say this is done pretty quickly as they realise they've left by mistake. What should happen under those circumstances - would their conversation contributions, tasks, etc. reappear in the plan?
Hey Mike!
If a member of a public plan opts to leave the plan on accident, they will remain within the plan and a blue "Join" button will appear at the top. If the member clicked "Leave plan" on accident and it's a public plan, they should be able quickly rejoin.
Regardless, when a member leaves a plan their data/tasks/conversations are not deleted although the name will appear as 'Former member'. If a member re-joins, they will still have all of that data connected to them.
Does this help?
Thanks,

- Hi, after these years, has it been added the possibility to prevent members from leaving plans in Planner?
