Groups provide an efficient method to organize specific sets of users. Sales Navigator admins can create groups, assign licenses, and set permissions using groups in LinkedIn Admin Center.
Important to know
• Sales Navigator Account Center has been rebranded to LinkedIn Admin Center. LinkedIn Admin Center is a self-serve tool that allows you to manage user and license management in one central location—without having to reach out to a sales or support representative. Learn more.• Admin functionality isn’t available in the Sales Navigator mobile app. To access Admin Center, you must use a desktop device.
Considerations
- After groups have been created, you can add, update, or remove users.
- If you are trying to perform bulk actions on more than 2,000 users, to avoid long upload times, use one of the following methods:
- CSV uploads
- Groups: Segment users into separate sections and take bulk actions on them
