In the new permissions feature, the Executive Director may not be assigned ANY OTHER ROLE and this is a huge problem for units where a dedicated 501c(3) may be the chartering organization and that person wears many hats. Please remove this restriction and allow an Exec Director to hold other roles, including administrative or functional positions.
That is not a scoutbook restriction but rather a National registration directive. The only multiple position registered adult would be the COR who can have 2 positions.
@DeeKivett - you can direct your issue to your council and I am certain they will explain the IH and their role.
@DeeKivett This is more of a policy question, but the Executive Officer position is a no fee position that does not require Safeguarding Youth Training or a criminal background check. If the Executive Officer wants to have a more active role in the unit, they would need to register in one of the other adult leader positions.

As @Stephen_Hornak says, this is by design from national and cannot be removed (not just software, it is the organization design). There is an option that can be done, but isn’t super common. The Executive Officer can register as the Chartered Organization Representative. Now, you can only have one COR, so they would bump the current person, but the XO then could have a second role as committee chair or whatever they would want.

I am currently the COR and the listed Exec Director as we are a “friends of Troop” 501c(3) chartering org. It won’t let me keep them both. Am I understanding above that it ought to allow it?
Everyone on my board who would be eligible to also serve as the Exec Director role is also serving as ASM or Treasurer or other functional duty.
@DeeKivett- this I think is a talk to council issue.
As several folks have noted already, talking to council is the best way forward on resolving this.
The council has the ability to escalate issues/errors that are related to registration to national (which the SUAC folks can’t do) using things like submitting MemberCare tickets or reaching out to the national registrar support group/channel. If this was an intentional decision by national (vs the law of unintended consequences rearing its head), it will likely take pressure from the council level to move the national organization.

@DeeKivett If you are also the Chartered Organization Representative, then you do not need any other functional roles. The COR already has the maximum permissions level.

That should be allowed IF, and only IF, you are a registered volenteer as the COR. This is pretty uncommon and may be a bug if you are seeing it.
This seems irrelevant as they are not listed as Executive Officer. It also isn’t true. There is only one Executive Officer as this is the chartering organization lead position (CEO, Board Chair, President, or THE executive director, non just A director). It is NOT just any/all directors on the board.
