Plan sharing with file container

A new authorization model is implemented for Planner plans, which will be a ‘shared container-based’ authorization model, where OneDrive and SharePoint Online files can be linked to plans to provide users with access to the plan if they have access to the shared container. This means that file-based authorization for plans will provide streamlined access to roster-backed plans that are connected to one or more SharePoint Online/OneDrive files. Note: Graph API is available only in beta 

For eg: A user with access to a Loop component or meeting notes that is linked to a plan in Planner will be able to access the plan without needing to be added as a roster member and thereby reducing any potential authorization errors that may arise owing to either roster limits or the absence of another user who can grant access.
