Short answer: There is no such calling in the Handbook. Meaning it's not a standard position. No custom positions will have special access to anything. On the other hand, a ward can have as many assistant clerks as they wish - with the stake's permission.

I'm a Bishop and we just called an Assistant Ward Executive Secretary. I would think that anyone in the Bishopric Group would be given the same rights. It is frustrating that my counselors cannot request member records, or move members out by example, but a Ward clerk can

If I, as Bishop, add a custom calling, would it be possible for me to be given privileges to assign the rights needed?

Custom callings carry no rights. There's no way to change that.

That is by design. Section 13.4 of Handbook 1 talks about ward records and reports. The word "counselors" appears one time in that section. The word "clerk" appears 34 times. The paragraph that talks about membership records refers to the ward clerk and assigned assistant ward clerks. It does not mention any responsibilities for counselors.

I'm a counselor to a bishop. My assignment as a Church employee means I have the capability to do anything my ward clerk can do in LCR and I am quite a bit faster at it than he is. When records need to be moved, my ward clerk moves records into my ward. That's his stewardship, not mine.

No.
