Hi,
I had a previous post about getting errors when trying to update leadership positions. I had a different leader update the positions and he was able to do it. I still get the error when I try. Can comeone take a look at my account to see what went wrong?
Today, how permissions work changed significantly. You probably want to take a look at these posts to get a better sense of how that impacts what you can do given your registered position and functional role(s).

I looked at the permissions/role that I have and I should be able to assign the leadership poistions. I keep getting the same error as before.
What’s your registered position in the unit, and do you have any functional roles also assigned? I saw one report of a DL who couldn’t do stuff that was on the supposedly default list, but it’s not clear if that’s a one-off or if there are other areas where the permissions-by-registered-position are not working. The more specific data you can provide, the more helpful it will be for the SUAC to report to the devs for investigation.

ETA: Also, are we talking about a different scout, or the same scout as the original thread? If different scout(s), please also include their Scouting America Member IDs (no names, please!).
Hi Charley,
Looking at thePermissions Manager, I am the Unit Advancement Chair. I had the Scoutmaster assign the scouts to Patrol Leader. There was a different scout that had to be assigned to Assistant Patrol Leader and I was getting the error.
Here is the scout’s ID: 134055571
I can’t assign him to Assistant Patrol Leader.
It looks like that’s a profile edit (at least that’s how I would read it). According to the PDF permissions matrix Donovan posted here (https://discussions.scouting.org/t/major-change-information-moving-away-from-connections/508118), it looks to be an ability that can be assigned to the UAC/MC, but it’s not assigned by default.
Hi Charley,
I’m not sure how to change the permission to Edit, but I was able to do assign leadership positions for SPL and ASPL. Then all of a sudden, it stopped working. Why was I able to assign leadership positions before and now I can’t. Can someone reset my account or something?
There was a fundamental change to how permissions work in the last 24 hours. One of your unit Key 3 can make the changes to permissions, as described in the documents linked from Donovan’s posts above. The SUAC volunteers can’t alter unit-level permissions.
