To report, you’ll need a CCLI Profile account.

1. Visit reporting.ccli.com

   Click Create a CCLI Profile and complete your details. If you’re a SongSelect user, you’ll already have an account, and you can sign in with your existing username and password.

2. Join your Church/Organization

   To link your account to your organization you’ll need an Access Code. Your organization’s CCLI Administrator may have this, or should be able to invite you to join the organization. Contact CCLI if you get stuck.

3. Add other users

   Click PROFILE from the USER menu to manage your account. If you’re the first person to be linked to your church/organization, you’ll automatically become its Account Administrator. This means you can add other Users who will then be able to sign in and report. You can also assign others to be Administrators.
