How to Add Admin to LinkedIn Page

Adding an admin to your LinkedIn page allows you to share the responsibility of managing your page with others. As your page grows, having multiple admins makes it easier to keep up with all the notifications, messages, and content creation needed to maintain an engaging presence.

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about adding one or more admins for your personal, company, or group LinkedIn page, with simple step-by-step instructions.

Overview of Admin Functions

Before diving into the how-to sections, let’s quickly go over what being an admin allows someone to do:

• Post, edit, and delete content on behalf of the page
• Respond to and manage comments and messages
• View page analytics and insights
• Add/remove other admins
• Edit page settings and info

Now that you know the basics, let’s get to the details of actually adding that coveted admin access.

Unfortunately, LinkedIn does not allow you to add admin access to your personal profile. As the account owner, you have full control.

However, for company and group pages, adding admin access is easy to do. We’ll cover both of those next.
