Youth can't add/update their own email addresses?

I've recently run into some problems.

1. Several of our ward's youth already have lds.org logins. However, most of them did not have an email address entered. When I tried to help them add an email address by going into "directory-myhousehold", it did not give an edit option. Can a youth edit/update their own contact information? If so, how?

2. Also, when I helped youth create a new account and they entered in a email address as part of the process, it looks like their email address is not visible, at least not to me as a ward administrator. Is this on purpose or am I missing something?

Our ward would like our youth to be able to use the website to get emails from ward leaders about upcoming activities through email subscriptions. How can I accomplish this?

They can sign-in at LDSAccount and edit their profile to add or correct e-mail addresses. The Ward Clerk can also add/change email addresses.

E-mail addresses have separate visibility settings (see Data privacy settings). A ward website administrator is not considered a ward leader, so if their privacy settings are set to "Private - Leadership Only" then you won't be able to see their e-mail addresses.

As an option, their parents should be able to edit the youth contact info.
