Permissions Capability
Would like for Owner's in a Team, Group or Plan to be able to change user's/member's permissions within Planner so they can:
1) Contribute
2) Edit
3) Read-Only
4) No Access

WHY do Microsoft assume that ALL users know how to use ALL applications and NEVER make a mistake like accidently deleting something, or amending something ??? Read Only permission sorts this problem out, sometimes a whole raft of users only need to LOOK at something without the ability to change anything (accidently or otherwise).
Being part of a team does not mean you have the same abilities as everyone in the team, and not everyone in a team has the same responsibilities - why is this concept so alien to Microsoft ???

We need this desperately. The broader organization (hundreds of people) need to be able to see when tasks are occurring so they can plan their work accordingly, but only the core team (about a dozen) should be allowed to edit tasks. And no one but the Team owners should be able to create or delete tasks.
Because of this, my organization is reluctant to use Planner, despite its great potential for more organized collaboration and alignment on deliverables.

Definitely a very useful thing is to add the viewer only option! Please .... Up!

We would like to use Planner so that the same task can be allocated to different individuals. In other words individual assignees must complete the same task. Example: Lecturers must have their exam papers ready by a certain due date. They must not be able to change the due date - only the Owner of the task/team.
So assignees must not be able to change the due date. This is a really important feature that is not available!

agree with other voters - I'd like to be able to share a view only link for meetings without having to add numerous people as guests to my account.
Any news? This has been a request for over 3 years

I'm applying planner to projects that envolve different sectors of the company, so I need different permissions for users (maybe a similar setup to those in SharePoint).
Some users cannot change the due date of the task, that's very important!
They can't also check a task that hasn't been designated to them.
They must be able to comment, add files and check items in the task, but they cannot exclude, or edit root infos such as the due date. -

Agreeing with all comments that "Read-Only" access is an essential feature that is currently lacking. Providing that feature would make Planner much more versatile and useful.

Are MS aware that there are several Uservoice requests for this - the requests may be worded differently but they all ask the same thing - Permissions !!!

This needs to be implemented ASAP!

Furthermore, it would be crucial to steer this on field level, so you can differentiate, whether a user can change i.e. only the status of a task but not the participants.

Without user permissions, planner is just another grocery to do list. Useless for corporate use.

PLEASE add this feature so that Planner is useful. Otherwise my team needs to use other methods.

This is needed!
I think it would be nice to have a little flexibility, like:
- Everyone in the group (team) can at least view
- Some buckets can be read only if they don't have permissions to edit
- Some buckets be allowed to add things, but not check them off / delete them
- Some buckets they have full controlThey = other team members
If I want a 3 members on my team to individually brainstorm on a card and assign that card to 5 people, I don't want them to accidentally mark it as completed and it not show up for the other members

Absolutely needs this feature. Otherwise, as mentioned in other posts, anybody can delete something especially if they don't know what they are doing.

Why do MS assume that everyone needs full access to everything, deleting things can be done accidentally and on purpose. Read only solves this problems and allows oversight without messing things up. If Planer backend is Sharepoint then surely this is possible.

and don't forget the possibility to limit Access to Delete tasks.
