How to set a membership to private as a ward clerk

The Bishop has asked me to set a members contact information to private. How do I do that as a ward clerk?

Currently this can only be done on the member app. It cannot be done at this time on LCR.

Go to the person's name, then click on edit at the top of the household screen. Then do the same for the individual if more than one person is involved in the household. Under privacy your options appear. Be sure to save when done with each screen, and then go back and make sure it was done correctly. If you have done it right the contact information marked leaders only will now appear in orange.

To clarify - the member app mentioned above, to give it its proper title, is the Member Tools app!

Not to forget that a member can also change their privacy details in the online Directory.

I know this thread is a little old at this point...and technical things change by the minute...but when I follow these steps to edit privacy options as the Asst. Ward Clerk...I see the orange shield under phone number, address, email...etc. and it is grayed out...so I can't edit these...now for birthdate or picture it is open to change to 'private'...(language must be different now, it just lists 'Stake & Ward Organization and Leadership' which I assume was the previous 'Private')

Has there been any updates to the system with regards to making members records restricted as to who can access their contact info? We have some members who have asked not to be contacted...and we want to respect their wishes as much as possible...without also having their records removed from the church.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!!
