Allow a member to do a duty

A member can be given a duty only after you allow it. Do this in Member Permissions.

Who can do this: Your role needs Edit access to Member Permissions.

The duties come from the Duty Manager. See Add duties to a service. Each row is one member and one duty. Rows are grouped by service.

1. On a computer, click Duties in the menu, then Member Permissions. On a phone, tap More, then Duties, then Member Permissions.
2. Open the Member Permissions tab.
3. Click a service name to open or close its rows. On a phone, the service groups start closed.
4. Find the row for the member and the duty.
5. Turn on Allowed.
6. Turn on Willing if the member agreed to do this duty.

Each switch saves right away. You see Permission successfully updated.

Good to know

• Allowed is your decision. Willing is the member’s choice. A member needs both turned on to be given the duty.
• Willing is locked until Allowed is on.
• Members can set Willing themselves, for the duties you allowed. See Choose the duties you are willing to do.
• Click a row to see the member’s profile.

Find a member or a duty

• Next to Gender Filter:, click Any, Male or Female.
• Type a name in Search Member Name.
• Type a duty in Search Duty.

You can use one filter or all three. On a phone, click the filter button to open the Filter Permissions panel.

If a member is not in the list

• A duty set to Male or Female shows only members of that gender. A duty set to Any shows everyone.
• A member with no gender in their profile does not show for Male or Female duties. Add the gender in the Member Directory. See Change a member’s profile.
• Former members and deceased members are not listed.
