Assign a different license to an existing user in Recruiter

Last updated: 3 months ago

Who can use this feature?

Only user and license management admins can manage licenses, permissions, and roles on your LinkedIn Recruiter contract. To better secure your account, we encourage you to add a back-up admin by assigning admin permissions to a current or new user. This allows an additional user to manage your contract if you depart the company or go on extended leave. You can assign admin permissions to users with the Hiring Manager role without using a paid license.

  1. Sign in to Recruiter.

  2. Click your profile picture at the top of your Recruiter homepage and select Go to LinkedIn Admin Center from the dropdown. 

  3. On the Users tab, find the person whose license you want to manage.

    You can filter by License type, License status, and Project status by selecting the dropdown above the user list. You can also search by name, email, title, or project using the search box above the user list.

  4. Click the More icon to the right of the user.
  5. Select Manage licenses from the dropdown.

  6. Select the role to assign specific access and capabilities to the user.

    Here's a tip

    To assign a role that doesn’t fall into one of the predetermined roles, click Custom.

  7. Click Confirm.
