User and group management in the LinkedIn Admin Center Overview

Last updated: 2 years ago

Important to know

To access the unified Admin Center, admins can use two entry points, depending on whether or not their profile is connected. Users with connected profiles can use the Admin Center tile in the header or select Me >Manage users in Admin Center. Users without connected profiles can select Me > Manage users in Admin Center.

To enable organizations to effectively manage users, groups, and licenses, admins can now access and leverage employee data across LinkedIn products. The key benefit of this feature is that it saves admin’s time in importing users to a new product who are already existing LinkedIn product users.

It’s important to know that granting admins the ability to access employee data across LinkedIn products, does not trigger any actions (e.g., allowing other admins to manage licenses outside of the licenses they currently oversee). Likewise, unassigned users you may see in the Users tab don’t take up a license and groups from other products won’t receive communications from products to which they aren’t associated.

Data that can be leveraged across products appear via the following points in LinkedIn Admin Center:

  • Users tab

  • Groups tab

  • User profile dashboard, under Users.
