Roadmap for task/bucket deletion permissions?

We're loving Teams, and really want to integrate Planner to manage task assignment across the teams within our business.     Planner is almost perfect in it's current version for what we need, wi...

I can see many requests in User voice related to access control. During Ignite Planner session similar question was asked by an user and it was informed that such feature will not be available. Hope I remember correct ;)

uh oh. I've only used planner for my own personal testing purposes, and I didn't realize that anyone could edit/delete anything in a plan. This essentially eliminates Planner from ever being adopted at my office.

    Thanks all.  I'll head across to Planner, but it sounds dead.  

     

    Real shame, it looks brilliant and with GDPR looming I am trying to minimise service providers (Trello and task in a Box, for example).  

     

    For the life of me, I can't see why this wouldn't be a critical feature for many organisations...

      Far from dead Craig - and a few features just landed and more to come.  I think the team would accept that they haven't been on top of the roadmap updating - but they are pretty active keeping UserVoice updated with their plans https://planner.uservoice.com/forums/330525-microsoft-planner-feedback-forum - and also reaching out for clarification for some of the suggestions.  I'll remind them of this group too so they can keep an eye on activity here.

      Best regards,

      Brian

        Hi, any development regarding the ability of any team member to delete buckets and tasks? I really would like to use Planner but with this "limitation" I seriously cannot....

         

        thanks. José Carlos
