These ward members have permission to perform the following actions within the online tool:

Bishop: May initiate, prepare, and approve orders. May also obtain ward-level reports.

Counselors in the bishopric: May initiate and prepare orders. May provide contingency approval when the bishop is unavailable. May also obtain ward-level reports.

Ward clerk: May view ward-level reports and the list of orders approved by counselors in the bishopric that are awaiting bishop approval.

Relief Society president: May initiate and prepare orders. May also obtain ward-level reports.

Designated order preparers(approved adult ward members other than those already listed): May initiate and prepare orders.

Stake presidency members and stake clerk: May obtain stake-level reports and ward-level reports for each unit in the stake.
