Need to create account for new Counselor
We have a new Counselor to the Branch presidency. He needs a log on account so he can cut checks, do tithing, etc.
Does the District Clerk have the admin rights to give him an account on our computer, or can I do it? If the latter, how?

Re: Need to create account for new Counselor
First you need to record the calling. Likely that will be in LCR. If you record it in LCR you will then need to do a send/receive in MLS so that MLS has the calling.
Then one of your admins (the clerk and branch president should be admins) need to create the account for him and give him finance rights.

Just to be clear, he's talking about someone who's MLS login has admin rights in MLS. The District Clerk may have those rights as well.jonesrk wrote:Then one of your admins (the clerk and branch president should be admins)
As part of creating the login, it needs to be linked to the membership record in MLS.

Re: Need to create account for new Counselor
True, any MLS Admin can add him there. But he also has to be in the standard calling or he will not be able to process the batch. That means LCR plus an MLS send/receive, unless they have not yet converted to LCR 3.0 (in which case that can be done in the Calling portion of MLS).russellhltn wrote:Just to be clear, he's talking about someone who's MLS login has admin rights in MLS.

Re: Need to create account for new Counselor
Although at this point odds are they have converted to LCR 3.0 and MLS just hasn't gotten the word yet. I'm not sure what happens in that case - the calling may update anyway, or it may just disappear.

Re: Need to create account for new Counselor
After the calling is updated at LCR, one Send/Receive with MLS will fix them right up and everything should work.russellhltn wrote:Although at this point odds are they have converted to LCR 3.0 and MLS just hasn't gotten the word yet.

Re: Need to create account for new Counselor
How do I find the Calling section or whatever it may be called, on MLS. I have looked on every tab and I can't find anything?

Re: Need to create account for new Counselor
It is under organizations. If you are wanting to edit callings you will have to do in in Leader and Clerk Resources (LCR) on lds.org.billflanders wrote:How do I find the Calling section or whatever it may be called, on MLS. I have looked on every tab and I can't find anything?

Re: Need to create account for new Counselor
If you're creating an MLS account, you need to choose System Options > Users. You can create the MLS user account there. For the user to have finance authorization rights, you also need to record the calling in LCR and then transmit using MLS so that the calling information is transferred to MLS.

Re: Need to create account for new Counselor
How would that work if the new counselor is a out of unit leader? Would the record also be transferred so the MLS account can be associated with the calling? Or would he have to create a out of unit record in MLS as well?scgallafent wrote:For the user to have finance authorization rights, you also need to record the calling in LCR and then transmit using MLS so that the calling information is transferred to MLS.
