How long has it been since you were entered into this standard calling?
Or is it a custom calling?

It can take up to 24 hours after the calling is recorded to have access.

I know this is the case. I discovered Friday morning it had finally been entered after being sustained 2 weeks ago. Tried again today and still access denied. I’ll check and see if it got entered correctly as a standard calling rather than a custom calling.

Take a look at his title. He has special powers.

Ok, still struggling with this. Bishop tried switching it to the standard calling, but Ward Assistant Clerk doesn’t show up on the callings list. Here’s a screenshot he sent me and the ward clerk.

Who has to enter this calling? Can the bishop and one of his counselors or the ward clerk take care of it? I know it requires dual approval, but does one of those two have to be a stake leader?

A Custom Calling has no access rights to (General statement here) any LCR options, even if it has the exact same wording as a Standard Calling. Only an appropriate Standard Calling, will give access to LCR.

This is a 'quirk' in the way LCR functions. The callings have probably been 'hidden'.

Instead of finding the member information page and adding the calling on there, you must enter through the calling list side.

Workflow as follows:

Login to LCR

Select Organizations from top menu

Select Bishopric

+ Add Another Calling (bottom right corner)

Select Ward Assistant Clerk, Ward Assistant Clerk - Finance or Ward Assistant Clerk - Membership, whichever is applicable for you.

Sounds like they need your help ;)

In terms of approval, it can be either 2 stake leaders or 2 ward leaders, It doesn't always play nice if you try half ward and half stake.

Between the Ward Clerk and the Bishop, they definitely have the necessary access in LCR to do this without help from stake.

Thank you. This did the trick. I should have full access in the morning.

This is quirk/glitch in LCR. One of many as you will discover. You have to go in through the “callings” link. Custom callings don’t have LCR access, or not much if any
