Permissions levels that block users to delete or conclude tasks
Any user can conclude, delete, alter due date and do other modifications on any task. Only the task's owner and the group owner should be able to do that.

We just had a Teams member accidentally delete a Planner board for an entire department... Substantial amount of work lost. Our IT division advises no way to recover or prevent this happening in future. The lack of controls in place here is frankly astounding. You're Microsoft!?

Please make this happen NOW. Without this capability, we lose critical information and this renders Planner almost useless if anyone can delete and those review/approval comments are lost, along with critical projects and their due dates.

I agree and vote for this change to me made immediately. As a owner, I assign task but other members keep deleting the plan (assigned task) hence not doing work!

I can't believe that this feature hasn't been added yet. I can't have employees modifying the due dates and urgency of their requests just to bump it to the front of the line. No reason this shouldn't already be added after four years.

Permissions at plan or task level (rather than group level) is also required for organisations that have a policy that a group must have more than one owner - such policies completely preclude use of planner as a personal productivity tool, unless we had the option of setting setting a permission at plan or task level.

There are several uservoice entries for this - some say read only, view only, permissions, etc. They all point to the same thing that is needed - Permissions. Apparently MS assume that if anyone can see a Plan within Planner they must also need the ability to edit and delete tasks !! This is crazy, it means that Planner is no more than a shopping list and not a serious business tool.

A simple flag to prevent all task deletions in a Plan might be enough. It's the old "where's the task gone" problem (again). An alternative is a proper, searchable audit trail (see elsewhere), which I also think is essential for use of this application. Losing tasks is expensive!

It astounds me that this hasn't been implemented yet. It's the only feature preventing us from using this in my workplace!

We need this!!! In my school we are planning to use this to assign tasks to students but currently any troll can delete other people's tasks...

It's a fundamental flaw that any member of a group can delete a Planner task, with no notifications, no audit trail and no way of recovering the deleted task. It's a shame, because in many other ways Planner is great.

They really are hopeless. You can't even vote on this anymore because of CORs issues...

How the **** has it been four and a half years and this rudimentary feature still hasn't been implemented? I guess Microsoft doesn't want to actually compete with the big boy planner services that are paid.

This limits the usefulness of this tool. I will not use this for important shared tasks since anyone can accidentally delete items.

Having used Planner for a few months now to track and handle support requests, I can't believe that this feature hasn't been added yet. I can't have employees modifying the due dates and urgency of their requests just to bump it to the front of the line. No reason this shouldn't already be added after four years.

it is incomprehensible that this function does not exist in 2021 on a simple task management system.
