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?

      Do you know how this works?

       

      First the guest user has to have a active office365 Account with Azure AD.

      Second, the assigned Licence has to be configured for "Teams" and "Planned" and the function Switches has to be activated

       

      I have setup a test plan to invite you

        Hi, I have tried this with different domains and I received 404-Unauthorized access. It seems it is not yet ready.

      Guest Invitation is working, but there are some limitations to check.

      First the guest user has to have a active office365 Account with Azure AD.

      Second, the assigned Licence has to be configured for "Teams" and "Planned" and the function Switches has to be activated.

      If you want to include external persons where no own AzureAD has, you can invite the users as a azure AD guest in your Azure to give them a temporary licence.
