Who has access to Send a Message in LCR?

I was wondering if there is a list of who has the ability to "Send a Message" in LCR. I know bishops and their councilors do. Ward EQ and RS presidencies.

I am a High Councilor and the PFR and would like to send an email to all EQ presidents about some building things.

Do I have access to this function? I know I can use the Share on the Mobile app using the Lists function, but sometimes certain emails are easier to send from a computer and not a mobile phone.

If I do have access can someone please tell me where to find it? I am logged in and in the LCR app. I don't see any place for sending a message.

If you are entitled you will find it under the Application tab, in LCR.

If you don't have access, you can compose the message and ask the stake clerk or stake executive secretary to send it for you.

You can use the Access Table (under Other in the menu) to see who has access to specific features

And at the Membership tab in the Forms section Send a Message is listed there.

Thank you for all the great replies. The Access link was very helpful as now I know exactly what I have access to.

High Council members do not have much.

I noticed in the access table that there is a calling "ward email communication specialist" that has access to only one feature: "send a message." You could add that as a calling/role to any ward member who needs access to the "send a message" tool. When adding that calling, it can be found under Other Callings > Technology

Thank you. I will check that out.

Set up a member with the calling "email communication specialist" and they now see LCR under tools and support, but they get access denied when they they to select it. What have I missed doing?

When did you set them up? It can take up to 24 hours for all the permissions to get in place.

I have just been called to serve as the ward Email Communication Specialist and I would like to know what my calling responsibilities are and I could not find them anywhere on the church website. When I try to access training for my callings, only pieces of training for another calling will show.

On the Access table I see that stake YM and YW presidencies supposedly have access to Send a Message, however I have heard that our stake YW secretary cannot send messages but the stake YM secretary supposedly can. Can anyone shed some light on this?

The Access Table isn't clear if secretaries are included – but usually when it comes to tool access, I would expect a secretary to have the same access as other members of the presidency. Here are a couple of things you could check:
1) Does the stake Young Men secretary have another calling that would give him access (for example, a high councilor)?
2) Is the stake Young Women secretary recorded in her calling in Leader and Clerk Resources? Is she able to access any ward or stake tools, or any sections of Leader and Clerk Resources? Is she signing in with her own Church Account (rather than her husband's account, for example), and does she have her membership record number correctly associated with her account at Account.ChurchofJesusChrist.org > Membership?

And make sure both are using their own accounts and not their spouse's. I've seen a couple of times where someone uses their spouse's login "because they see more".

I also know it's been reported that sometimes a leader with multiple callings, when they log in it defaults to the "other calling". If the leader then switches to the desired calling inside LCR, that enables access to the desired functionality. Just something else to consider with the Stake YW Secretary.
