Disable Project for the web or Roadmap from Microsoft 365

  • Article

Microsoft Project for the web will soon become Microsoft Planner, which is currently rolling out to customers. To learn more about setting up the new Planner for your organization, see Microsoft Planner for admins.

You can turn Project for the web or Roadmap off in the Microsoft 365 admin center. This setting prevents your users from using them, but will not remove any user data that currently exists.

Note

It may take a few minutes for functionality to be disabled while the setting synchronizes across your tenant.

To turn off Project for the web:

  1. In the Microsoft 365 admin center, under Settings, click Org settings.
  2. Click Project.
  3. Uncheck Turn on Project for the web.
  4. Click Save.

Note

Although this setting currently displays in your Project settings, it will not be enabled until a later date (see your Message Center). You can still turn off Project for the web for individual users.

To turn off Roadmap:

  1. In the Microsoft 365 admin center, under Settings, click Org settings.
  2. Click Project.
  3. Uncheck Turn on Roadmap for your organization.
  4. Click Save.

If your Project Online subscription ends, most of the associated data is deleted in conformance with the Data retention, deletion, and destruction in Microsoft 365. Unlike other Project Online data, Project for the web and Roadmap data isn’t automatically deleted when your Project Online subscription ends.

Remove Project for the web and Roadmap data

You can remove all Project for the web and Roadmap data by removing the entire solution from Microsoft 365. This removal deletes all of the existing projects, roadmaps, and associated user data.

To remove Roadmap: (Only applies to the default organization as Roadmap can only be installed on the default organization)

  1. In the Microsoft 365 App Launcher, click Power Apps (or as an alternative, you can go to https://make.powerapps.com/).
  2. Ensure that the default organization is selected at the top of the page; if not, change it to the default organization. (As noted above, Roadmap can only be installed on the default organization; as such, it is the only organization where you can remove the roadmap from.)
  3. Click on the settings icon on the top right of the page and go to Advanced Settings.
  4. On the Settings menu, under Customization, click Solutions.
  5. Select the PortfolioService solution, and then click Delete.
  6. Select the PortfolioService_Anchor solution, and then click Delete.
  7. Select any solutions with a naming format of PortfolioService_Patch_(number), (for example, PortfolioService_Patch_1 or PortfolioService_Patch_2), and then click Delete.

Note

Removing the Roadmap solution does not affect any of the projects or tasks that the roadmaps are connected to.

To remove Project for the web:

  1. In the Microsoft 365 App Launcher, click Power Apps or you can browse directly to it by going to: https://make.powerapps.com/.
  2. Ensure that the correct organization where you want to remove Project for the web is displayed at the top of the page. In most cases, it will be the default organization if you have an out-of-box installation.
  3. Click on the settings icon on the top right of the page and go to Advanced Settings.
  4. On the Settings menu, under Customization, click Solutions.
  5. Select the msdyn_ProjectServiceCore solution, and then click Delete.
  6. Select the msdyn_ProjectServiceCore_Anchor solution, and then click Delete.
  7. Select the MicrosoftDynamicsScheduling solution, and then click Delete.
