Your LinkedIn Company Page is where we publish thought leadership content, boost posts, and run sponsored campaigns to grow your professional audience. Granting us admin access lets our team manage content and ads on your behalf — we’ll never have access to your personal LinkedIn profile or messages.
Estimated Time to Complete: 2 to 3 minutes
What You’ll Need
- A LinkedIn account that is a Super Admin or Admin of your Company Page
- The name or LinkedIn profile URL of the team member we’ll designate (we’ll provide this)
- A desktop browser (Chrome, Firefox, or Edge)
Important: LinkedIn requires that the person being added is a 1st-degree connection of a current Page admin. Before starting, please connect with the team member we designate. We’ll provide their name and LinkedIn profile URL — email access@yourcontentfactory.com if you haven’t received it yet.
Steps
- Go to your LinkedIn Company Page. Open LinkedIn and navigate to your Company Page. You can find it by searching for your company name or going to linkedin.com/company/your-company-name.
- Click the Admin tools dropdown. At the top of your Page, click the Admin tools dropdown menu (you’ll only see this if you’re already an admin).
- Select Manage admins. From the dropdown, click Manage admins (or go to Settings → Manage admins).
- Click Add admin. Click the Add admin button.
- Search for our team member. Type in the name of the person we’ve designated. Select them from the dropdown. If they don’t appear, make sure you’ve connected with them first (see note above).
- Set the role. Choose Content Admin for content-only management, or Super Admin if you’d like us to also manage Page settings and run LinkedIn Ads.
- Content Admin — Can create and publish posts, respond to comments. Good if you’re only using us for organic content.
- Super Admin — Full access to Page management and ad campaigns. Recommended if we’re running LinkedIn Ads for you.
- Click Save. The designated team member will now have access to manage your Page.
For LinkedIn Ads (Campaign Manager)
If we’re running LinkedIn Ads for you, we also need access to your LinkedIn Campaign Manager:
- Go to linkedin.com/campaignmanager.
- Select your ad account.
- Click Settings (gear icon) in the top-right.
- Click Manage access → Add user to account.
- Enter the LinkedIn profile URL of our designated team member.
- Set the role to Account Manager.
- Click Save.
Troubleshooting
I can’t find the “Manage admins” option. You may not be an admin of the Page. Check with whoever originally created the Company Page and ask them to add you as a Super Admin first.
The person I’m trying to add doesn’t show up. You must be 1st-degree connections on LinkedIn. Send a connection request first, wait for them to accept, then try again.
