How can ward or Stake leaders know who has an LDS Account

[Mikerowaved]

I can see a lot of the benefits. But I can also see the privacy issues. Releasing who has an account without their permission is a breach of privacy. For more information read the privacy policy at the LDS Account Sign In page.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm not seeing where the privacy policy would be violated at all. In fact, the last sentence of of paragraph 3 states...

In addition, your membership information, including your personal contact information, may be shared with Church leadership for internal Church purposes.

First, I think your quote of my post missed the change that I made to adjust the words "is a breach of privacy" to "could be a breach of privacy". Local privacy laws vary even within the U.S. from state to state. I am more concerned with what is stated (or not stated) in section 2 and not what is stated in section 3. Section 3 deals with a member's Church membership information and not the linkage to the ownership of an account.

...and not the linkage to the ownership of an account.

I think this is the difference in our thinking. I'm not asking for anything that would reveal any link between specific MLS and LDS Access accounts. A flag in MLS that simply indicated *IF* a member had established an LDS Account, would not have to reveal anything about the LDS Account itself, including their UserName or any other identifiable information.

We are trying to figure out who in our ward already has an LDS Account. I seem to remember there was a report that showed this, but can't find it online nor in MLS. We'd like to extend personal invitations to register for an account to those who have not yet done so.

At the Classic site, a web site administrator could see a list of those who had accounts. There is no way for local leaders to see this information with LDS Account. However, anyone who is using the Calendar or other resources at LDS.org will have an account, or who is working on their family history, or any of a dozen other things.

The quick answer is no.

There is a forum for LDS Account discussion. This question has been asked there.
