How to request access, add, or remove admins from a LinkedIn Company Page?

You can change the admins on a LinkedIn company page in a few simple steps. Here are easy instructions on how to request access, transfer ownership, add or remove admins from a LinkedIn company page.

However, it is important to note that some admin changes are easier made from a desktop or computer and the maximum number of admins a Company Page can have is 50. LinkedIn Company pages don’t have logins or passwords, they are attached to people’s individual accounts and you cannot create or manage a company page on LinkedIn without a personal profile.

PS: As a LinkedIn Page admin, you can add admins or approve requests and grant admin access to employees to help manage your Page more efficiently. You can either add admins through your Page Admin View or Add Admins to your Page by email. Start by finding out what admin level you are on and what access and rights you have been granted.

How to Create a LinkedIn Company Page:

1. To create a LinkedIn company page follow these simple steps:
2. Click the Work icon in the top right corner of your LinkedIn homepage.
3. Click Create a Company Page.
4. Enter your Company Name and choose a URL.
5. Click the Create Page button.
6. Click Get Started on the welcome screen to begin editing your Company Page.

Once you’ve created your Company Page you’re now the admin. You can control who has access to your page by adding additional admins to the page, in case an admin loses access to the page or leaves the company in the future.

There are four types of Page Admins:

1. Designated Admin access allows employees to make edits to your Page, add other admins, and post updates.
2. Direct Sponsored Content poster access allows employees to share and sponsor updates on an organization’s LinkedIn Page.
3. Lead Gen Forms Manager access allows assigned admins to download leads from Campaign Manager.
4. Pipeline Builder Admin access gives users the ability to create and edit Pipeline Builder landing pages that are associated with your Page.

PPS: Designated Admin rights are automatically granted to the creator of a LinkedIn Page. Designated Admins can add all types of Admins to a Page. LinkedIn can’t provide Page Admin information to members or replace or remove Admins. Permission to create Direct Sponsored Content on behalf of a Page can be requested through Campaign Manager.

How to Make yourself or other Admins to Your LinkedIn Company Page:
You are thinking: “As the new business development manager of an existing LinkedIn company account, I can’t edit the landing page. What can be done?” If you’re new to the company there is a good chance that you haven’t yet been made a page admin, and thus you can’t edit the page.

Your first task is to gain access. LinkedIn Company pages don’t have login, they are attached to individual accounts. This means someone in your organisation is a page admin. They could be the person who previously did your role, the company director so someone who has no left the company. You’ll need to ask around to find out.

If the person who set the page up has left the company you will need to either get in touch with that person, and ask them to make you admin, or contact the LinkedIn help desk and ask them to add you. For this you will need to provide proof to verify you are part of the company and authorised to have access.

Until you are the page admin you won’t be able to access the company page or post to it. A page admin is able to edit a page, add other admins and post updates. Once you have gained access, it is worth reviewing the existing administrators to make sure everyone who should have access does, and remove anyone who should not.

If you cannot perform either of these options because you are not the admin and cannot reach the existing admin, create a support ticket with LinkedIn.
