Disable Planner tab in shared and private channels

You can disable the Planner tab in shared and private channels for your tenant by using Windows PowerShell. Disabling this tab blocks users from accessing existing plans created in shared and private channels and prevents them from creating new plans in those channels. If needed, you can re-enable the Planner tab at any time by running a similar command.

Prerequisites

• Ensure you've completed the steps in Prerequisites for making Planner changes in Windows PowerShell.

Disable the Planner tab for shared and private channels

1. Open PowerShell and run the following command to disable the Planner tab for shared and private channels in your tenant. The Planner tab is enabled by default.

   Set-PlannerConfiguration -AllowTeamsChannelContainerAccess $false
   

   Disabling this experience blocks access to:

   • Any existing plans created from shared and private channels
   • Creation of new plans from shared and private channels

   If you change your mind and want to enable the Planner tab for shared and private channels in your tenant, run the following command:

   Set-PlannerConfiguration -AllowTeamsChannelContainerAccess $true
   

   Note

   You need to sign in by using your Microsoft Entra admin credentials and use a local PowerShell window, not Azure Cloud Shell.

2. To verify your settings, run the following command in PowerShell:

   Get-PlannerConfiguration
   

   The AllowRosterCreation value returned by this command indicates whether the creation of roster containers is allowed.
