According to the access table, that's "Relief Society president, including her counselors and secretary"sbradshaw wrote:There's no way to assign permissions in Leader and Clerk Resources other than assigning a person to a standard calling that provides access.
Unless that calling can be found or referenced in the Handbook, that's not likely to happen.willisa wrote:I would really like to also have an assistant VT coordinator who can see it.
Even though the access table doesn't say it, VT coordinator has indeed the access.willisa wrote: Sbradshaw, I know the access table says the access table includes the RS Pres, counselors, and secretary, but I would assume that my visiting teaching coordinator will also be able see . . .
I believe that any standard position (calling) that has "Visiting Teaching" in the name has some level of access. But custom positions will have no access regardless of what they are called.nikk3hi3tala wrote:Even though the access table doesn't say it, VT coordinator has indeed the access.
I've always understood that as a reference to VT coordinator and VT district supervisors, which are standard callingsrussellhltn wrote:Just another add-on. Handbook 2: 9.5.4 says "The Relief Society presidency or those who are called to assist them receive monthly reports from visiting teachers." That would appear to give the RS president quite a bit of flexibility in VT callings.
That's certainly one way to do it, but the Handbook (as currently worded) doesn't appear to limit it to that. But that may change.nikk3hi3tala wrote:I've always understood that as a reference to VT coordinator and VT district supervisors, which are standard callings
I'm the RS president, and it would be very convenient for my compassionate service leaders to have access to the VT information. Just sayin'.jschaub wrote:Our RS president is also requesting the ability to give access to Visiting Teaching lists for the Compassionate Service Coordinator.
Please give Compassionate Service Leaders the default permission to have access to Ministering Brothers and Sister assignments. It is ESSENTIAL to their calling.sbradshaw wrote:There's no way to assign permissions in Leader and Clerk Resources other than assigning a person to a standard calling that provides access.

No one on this forum has the ability to do what you ask (this forum is primarily user-to-user tech support). The default permissions are set by the programmers who receive their direction from the Brethren. The best thing you can do to pass along your request is to send feedback through the LDSTools app and/or LDS.org. You may also ask your high councilor to bring the request to the stake president who may pass it along through his coordinating council. None of this will guarantee a change, but at least then your voice may be heard.dbollard99 wrote:Please give Compassionate Service Leaders the default permission to have access to Ministering Brothers and Sister assignments.

I meant that a Compassionate Service Leader's ability to know or have access to Ministering Brother and Sister assignments is the ESSENTIAL part to their calling, and not specifically LCR or LDS Tools. Although, with as much effort the church has put into converting to digital, I would argue that this should be a standard access point for this particular calling, and is a very important one if the church expects us to rely on these tools.

As the ward clerk, I provide a copy of the (formerly) HT and VT lists to the RS Compassionate Service coordinator periodically. It is not an elegant solution, but it does work and allows her to access to what you claim is "essential in her calling." I find it interesting that LCR and LDSTools have only been in existence for a few years and yet access has suddenly become "ESSENTIAL"
