Restricting Edit Permissions in Microsoft Planner

[HamidBee]

Hello everyone,

I'm currently using Microsoft Planner for project management and collaboration within my team. However, I've encountered a challenge and would appreciate some guidance.

Is there a way to configure Microsoft Planner so that only specific individuals, such as my manager, have the ability to make changes to the tasks and plans, while others can only view them? Essentially, I'm looking to prevent general team members from altering the plan, while granting full editing rights to my manager.

Any tips, tricks, or insights on how to set this up would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Hi,

Unfortunately Planner does not support that scenario. I will recommend you to take a look to Project on the Web and the different SKUs they have so you can review it can/can't meet your requirements

Thanks. I was really hoping MS Planner had that functionality. When you mention "Project on the Web" are you referring to MS Project?.

Hi!
Yes, Project on the Web is the last evolution of Project: https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/office/what-is-project-for-the-web-c19b2421-3c9d-4037-97c6-f66b6... and https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/office/what-can-you-do-with-project-for-the-web-b30f5442-be5f-43...

@jcgonzalezmartin Hello, Does anyone know if this issue has now been resolved with Microsoft planner with regard to the locking off of the tasks in planner, to enabling only certain individuals having permissions to change tasks? . The issue is that anyone changing the task information can easily affect the overall timing of a project without it being noticed until later on. Any updates on this issue would be appreciated

@Delboy_23 I hope so too! We are really struggling with this and have missed so many things because of tasks being moved, or checked completed.
