How can we improve Planner?

← Microsoft Planner - Feedback Forum

Allow external users to view/edit tasks.

We have sub consultants that we collaborate with on a daily basis. It would be nice to have different levels of permissions to view tasks, edit tasks, and / or create tasks.

    We’re working on supporting this in Office 365 Groups in general. Once that’s complete, we’ll support it in Planner shortly after.

        Yes, I agree with the comments so far. I too need to be able to share with external consultants. Therefore, I have now chosen to go down a different route and use Trello instead.

        Is there any update about estimated time for this feature to be implemented?

        check O365 roadmap, been added to Development last month, so it should be out soon

        Given the nature of many projects, there is definitely a need for external access and participation.

        Essential feature required to collaborate with external parties. Will take some time for MS to catch up with Trello which is free and very easy to use.

        Sigh...another feature I look at and think "great, that'll help me work with my consultancy clients / partners" then find out it's barely out of Alpha and doesn't support external access. Same story with teams. In both cases requests made years ago and continual missed promised deadlines or no response at all. Microsoft seems to be flogging vapourware more and more nowadays.. I'd ask what the status of this is but since it is marked as "started" well over a year and a half ago and no update since I'm not anticipating a reply.

        Hi, what is the status of this feature? Please add it. Working with people from different companies is a must for consulting firms. Without it, planner has no use.

        There needs to be read only and editing rights, that we can apply

        So I have tested that external users can be added yet they do not get the ability to do anything with Tasks? Is there some PowerShell commands or ??? to enable external users to complete tasks??
