A few weeks ago the 1st counselor in the bishopric asked if I would change his user name from last only to first and last. He said he wanted this because of the way it prints out on some of the finance documents.
I am not up on all of those documents because I don't usually help with finances though.
RussellHltn wrote:If for example, a question has comes up on a donation batch from some time ago. I'd think it would be more important to identify the persons who initialed the batch so you can start asking them questions then to see the position and try to figure out who had that calling at that time. If the person was able to initial the batch, then (assuming the MLS rights reflect their calling), then they are authorized to do it. When you're trying to track down problem, the person is more important then the calling held at the time.
RussellHltn wrote:I also think it's easier to track things when the IDs reflect the person. You can be reasonably sure that Brother Brown is using "Jim Brown", but if he was the Ward Clerk and is now the EQ President, can you be sure he's logging in with the right ID (and therefor the correct privileges)?

I think what he's referring to is there is the ability in MLS to connect one's UserID to one's membership record.
