I am the Advancement Chair, but I don’t seem to have the ability to log an activity under Activity Logs. In watching the videos, it seems as though there should be a big red button in the upper right that should allow me to do so, but that button doesn’t appear for me. ---

@ScottBunn - the advancement chair does not have that permission by default.. it would need to be added. > **[eee33cdd1eedcd2e43f1e3785a2b7b19c686c759.pdf](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/scouting/original/3X/e/e/eee33cdd1eedcd2e43f1e3785a2b7b19c686c759.pdf)** > > 503.68 KB ---

Who would add the permission. I also can’t add activities logs and neither can anyone who used to be able to do it, add them. ---

@AlisonMonteith - any of the unit key 3 can add the permissions ---

Here is information @AlisonMonteith A major focus of the migration to Scoutbook Plus is to have positions mirror the positions shown in My.Scouting to ensure positions were reflected accurately in both platforms. The main purpose it to honor the guidance of our charter organizations and the positions they approve. Therefore, **Scoutbook Plus does not** use Legacy Scoutbook positions. Registered positions are used to provide base permissions. Some additional permissions can be added by the unit, however, there are restrictions on what can be given. See the updated [Scoutbook\_Permissions.pdf](https://discussions.scouting.org/uploads/short-url/qngvgDJg53aMPd2dxH2PlfAHlEK.pdf)and the [Scoutbook Plus permissions video](https://youtu.be/owdWH062XFc) for more details. Just as permissions are now limited - so is report access - [https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/scoutbook/Report-Permission-Access.pdf](https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/scoutbook/Report-Permission-Access.pdf) ---

Thanks. After I sent my message, I watched your permissions video. Now I understand how it works. It looks like our scoutmaster is the only one who can give us permissions, so I will ask him to do that at our next meeting. Thanks again! ---

@AlisonMonteith Troop Key 3: - Scoutmaster - Committee Chair - Chartered Org. Rep. Or a Key 3 Delegate (if your unit has designated any). ---
