LinkedIn Pages
GuidedYou confirm it once you can see the access.
Your client adds a person at your agency as an admin of their Page on LinkedIn’s own screen, with our steps beside it: Settings, Manage admins, then Add admin. LinkedIn gives Page access to a person, not to a company, and its API cannot grant it. The person is added at once, with nothing to accept; you confirm it on your dashboard.
In preview: sign-up is by invitation, and until Meta and Google approve the app, it works with simulated and test accounts only.

What you can ask for
You pick one level when you create the link. Each is shown with LinkedIn’s own name for it.
- ViewAnalystSee how the Page performs through its analytics. Cannot post or change anything. A new link starts here.
- StandardContent adminCreate and manage the Page’s content: posts, boosted posts and events. Cannot add or remove admins.
- AdminSuper adminEvery Page admin permission, including adding and removing admins, editing the Page and deactivating it. Needs a verified agency.
What you give us once
LinkedIn profile. The person at your agency your client adds. They search for the name and check the profile address.
- Profile address
- Name on the profile
You type it once in Create link. It is saved for your next link, and your client sees it marked as given by you.
Before you send the link
Follow your client’s Page first. LinkedIn only lets them add someone who follows the Page and is within three degrees of their connections.
What your client needs
The box tells your client before they start: “You need to be a super admin of the LinkedIn Page.”
If the person who opens the link is not that person, the same link works for whoever is.
When it counts as given
Nothing can read LinkedIn for you, so your client’s “done” alone never finishes the link. You confirm it on the client’s page once you can see the access, and the dashboard says Confirmed by your team with the date.
LinkedIn adds you at once: there is nothing to accept.
Removing the access later
The access is given on LinkedIn, so it is removed there. Your client does this:
- Go to your Page super admin view. Click Settings in the left menu, then Manage admins.
- On the Page admins tab, click the Delete icon to the right of the person’s name, then click Remove.
What to check on every platform when an agency leaves is in How to remove an old agency's access to your Meta and Google accounts.

Questions
Why do I have to follow the Page first?
LinkedIn only lets a Page add someone who follows it and is a 1st, 2nd or 3rd-degree connection of the admin who adds them. Follow the Page before you send the link.
What does my client search for?
The name on the profile of the person you named in Create link. The box also shows that person’s profile address as text, so the client can check it is the right one.
Which admin roles can I ask for?
Analyst, Content admin or Super admin. A Super admin can add and remove admins, so only a verified agency can ask for it.
