Project templates & connection to MS Teams Group

Hi Philip, Template and copying of a plan/schedule is not available in "Project for the web" yet.

You may vote for the relevant idea in UserVoice though to push it to high priority of the dev team:

You are welcome!
You can assign tasks to any users who is available in O365 (or AD) and as soon as you add them they will be member of associated group. However, if they don't have license (Project Online) they won't be abale to see or update the task.
Hope this will answer the question.

  Thanks Naaser on your fast response.
  
  But instead of assigning a single person from our AAD, I had to assign a whole group to the project and now I am not able to remove this group/users from the project. Any idea how i shall handle this?
  
  Any idea if there will come something in the future if you would like to collab on projects with externals who dont have MS Project license?
  
  Thanks,
  Philipp

    Obviously, managing users and accessed is still very basic and comparing with Project Online it is primitive.
    But if I understood your use case correctly you want to remove a user access from the project? to do this you just need to remove the user from the associated group, However, each project always should have a group and you can't remove the whole group.
    Wrt your next question, I don't know if such feature is in MS Project roadmap or not, but I presume in the future they should have this option as what similarly exist in Yammer or Teams.
