Hello! Within the 'permissions hierarchy' of callings, members who hold which callings can allocate hymns for upcoming Sundays within the Gospel Library app? (e.g. I know Bishops can allocate hymns via the app for upcoming Sundays, but who else can definitely do this?) - No conjecture please, looking for verified facts only, thanks!

According to the video found here, it's the "Music Coordinator, Leader, accompanist, or member of the Bishopric".

This is one of those situations where the clerk and assistant clerk are included in the bishopric (personal experience).

Which could mean the executive secretary can as well.

I can confirm that the Exec Secretary can!

I can confirm that the technology specialist can. Not sure why...

The list of callings can be found in the Gospel Library FAQ, under "Ward and Branch Features":
https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/learn/mobile-applications/gospel-library-faq?lang=eng

Ward Technology Specialists were also recently given access (the FAQ hasn't been updated yet). This allows them to support members and leaders in their use of Gospel Library, as mentioned in General Handbook 33.10:
Ward technology specialists serve under the guidance of the ward clerk or executive secretary, as determined by the bishop. Their responsibilities can include the following:
  • Assist stake or ward leaders with technical needs.
  • Teach members how to access and use Church media, apps, and other technology tools, including FamilySearch.org.
  • Support leaders and teachers who use technology tools to fulfill their callings.
  • Manage streaming of meetings and classes for those who cannot attend (see 29.7).
Samuel Bradshaw • If you desire to serve God, you are called to the work.

I don't know if anyone involved with creating this FAQ will see this, but I really appreciate that the various "Who has access to select ....." sections, separately list each individual calling. So it doesn't say Bishopric or RS Presidency, but rather individually lists each separate calling. So no confusion if a clerk or secretary is included or not! Good job :idea:

Is there a way to see who changes the hymns? We have a member that keeps changing them last minute and we can’t figure out who it is.
