<P> Priesthood keys are conferred upon all the presidents of the quorums . A quorum is a group of priesthood holders who hold the same priesthood office . For a priesthood holder to exercise ecclesiastical power or authority , Latter Day Saints believe that a priesthood holder must have a specific set of keys or be authorized by one who holds those keys . Thus , even though a priesthood holder is called and ordained with general priesthood power , to formally lead others in the church or to conduct specific rites may also require specific keys not held by all priesthood holders . The existence of keys makes possible a church hierarchy , in which particular priesthood holders specialize in a particular ecclesiastical function organized in a top - down manner . </P>
