How can we make Planner better?

← Microsoft Planner - Feedback Forum

Restrict who can delete tasks/buckets

Dear Microsoft folks,

I would like to recommend

(1) restricting who has the ability to delete tasks (or perhaps allowing/approving individuals to delete tasks)

(2) add an additional prompt to confirm if the user would like for a task to be deleted

(3) give the option to recover a deleted item after X number of days

(4) provide a notification to the "creator" of the deleted task that it has indeed been deleted

(5) add the ability to print these records (or export to Excel to where it could be modified and then printed out)

We would like to use this tool as a to do list for work order repairs with our maintenance department. However, our records (including repairs) are audited every year, closely inspected are scrutinized.

In the event that we have a disgruntled employee/user, they could currently delete any/all records which will raise questions with outside agencies if we have done what has been deleted. These agencies are heavy on documentation, so a lack thereof will result in fines.

Also, if one of our users accidentally deletes a record, we are in the same situation as above.

If this feature were available (and the ability to print a summary of all records), I would feel much more comfortable embracing this & committing to more Office 365 licenses (wink wink nudge nudge)

Thank you for your consideration!

    just checked - in fact about 14 comments identifying the same potential project crippling flaw in Planner

    MS moderator for the User Voice needs to triage the comments as this issue is repeated under different titles quite a few times in this forum. All the votes need to be totaled under a single specific comment title.

    There are some really choice comments across the forum, and also people not venturing to use Planner due to concerns about their data security.

    In the situation we are working with here - we are having to use Planner as it gives 80% of the functions that we need. But we are quite frankly petrified that we will lose potentially 1000's of tasks across a suite of plans - as there is no back up and anyone can accidently delete a lot of information accidently - let alone maliciously.

    How ridiculous to even vote for this feature. This is so basic...
    Microsoft, you should be ashamed!

    in a defined Planner, we need to prevent user's from changing the labels and bucket names at their will. How can we block that?

    Please allow us to either restrict deletion of tasks or get a notification if it is deleted (as an owner of the team).

    I'd also like to see a deleted plan being restored and security around who can delete a plan. We had a knucklehead who deleted ours and costed us days work.

    i can not believe this is not there.....this app is not new, since it has zero security we will deploy another product. This seems to be a common issue with microsoft, security last.

    Есть ли информация когда появится запрет на удаление задач в планере?

    No Response from Microsoft so far, our work is impacted because of this option, Deleting tasks issue.
