Promote subtask is greyed out

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing an issue with Microsoft Project where the following features are greyed out:

  • Promote Subtask
  • Make Subtask
  • Add Dependency
  • Remove Dependencies

For context, I have basic access to the project, and my role type is set as "Member."

My question is: does my role and access level have something to do with these options being unavailable, or should these features work regardless of my role?

Any guidance would be appreciated!

Thanks!

M

    Even though you state you are using Microsoft Project, it sounds more like you are using Project for the Web (aka Planner Premium). If that is the case, I believe your M365 app admin needs to give you a Project Plan 1 (aka Planner Plan 1) license so that you can edit the project. Your permissions in Project for the Web are controlled by your license and not your role. Hope this helps.
