Planner Guest Access
I have sent you a test task, can you confirm you can see and update task?
- SanthoshB1Bronze ContributorHi Dave, I cannot able to access this plan in Planner. I have received your email for access to the Group and can able to get to SharePoint for the Group. Have you added the task assignment in this plan to myself?
The current mechanism seems like " Can able to assign tasks to external users as they are supported in O365 Groups. The external user will get email notification for all updates and can participate via groups. Also external user can post an update to the task by just replying to the email and it will be available in the comments section in the task card"AFAIK, there is no ETA defined yet for Guess Access support in Planner...something unbelievable if you ask my opinion

Can you also open attachments when you need to scroll down to reach them? It bounces back up as soon as you click on the attachment link without opening it.
Terrible bug left unfixed for weeks now.

Correct - this is still on the roadmap as under development - with a target availability date of Q1 next year (2018) - https://products.office.com/en-us/business/office-365-roadmap?filters=%26freeformsearch=Planner#abc Microsoft Planner: Guest User Access Microsoft Planner will support task assignment and collaboration with team members who are not a part of the tenant. This helps teams collaborate with their vendors and channel partners effectively. Estimated Release: Q1 CY2018 Feature ID: 14702 Added to Roadmap: 06/08/2017 Last modified : 12/12/2017 Tags: O365 - David NobleIron Contributor
Thought I was losing the plot when reading this post, as I saw it in RoadMap.
Hope this is finished soon.

Does this actually work? I can invite a guest user as you show in your screenshot...
but when the guest user signs in... they don't seem to be able to access Planner at all???
Also all references to guest access and planner seem to have dissappeared from the roadmap

William Evans, Hi, The external user cannot able to login to Planner to view his cards as of now. Support for external user is in roadmap. But you can able to assign tasks to external users as they are supported in O365 Groups. The external user will get email notification for all updates and can participate via groups. Also external user can post an update to the task by just replying to the email and it will be available in the comments section in the task card. HTH.

Hola,
Has this functionality been worked? Or any idea of when it can be made available to guest-users?
- Patrick FontanaCopper Contributor
Wow that was fast @ignite16 the fasttrack guy told me that use about 3 months
- Patrick FontanaCopper ContributorI tested it last night. For our EMEA tenant it does not work. Could it be that your selected external user has a Federation with you or has at least his own O365 tenant?
- SanthoshB1Bronze ContributorCan you able to add guests to your Office 365 Groups?
- Santosh, you are my hero!!! Always ahead in what's coming in Planner ^-^
