Manage licenses in Recruiter

Who can use this feature?

Only user and license management admins can manage users on your 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.

User and license management admins manage licenses, permissions, and roles for users based on the user's role in the sourcing and hiring process. The chart below provides details on the various actions admins can take in LinkedIn Admin Center under user and license management.

Action	Description
Assign a license to a new user	Invite new users to Recruiter. New users need to activate their license in order to access Talent Hub and collaborate with other users.
Park a license	Temporarily deactivate a license and keep the user's work. All work can be restored to the original user or reassigned to a new user.
Deactivate (remove) a license and remove user from dashboard	Deactivate (remove) a license and delete the user from the dashboard by assigning ‘No License’ to an existing user.
Restore (unpark) a license	Reactivate a parked license and assign it back to the original user.
Reassign a license	Reassign a user's work to another user. This will deactivate the former user's license. The following information will be reassigned to the new user: pending message responses, received and archived messages, message templates, open jobs, unarchived and archived projects, saved searches, and notes.
Assign a different license type to an existing user	Grant an existing user a different license type.

Here's a tip

An open license must be available to assign, reassign, or restore (unpark) a license to a user. Please contact your LinkedIn Relationship Manager to change the number of licenses on your Recruiter contract.

The number of times a license can be reassigned, assigned, and parked each month is limited. This limit varies per contract. For example, an organization with 15 seats is allowed to park 15 licenses, assign 15 licenses, and reassign 15 licenses every 30 days. License action limits (reassign, assign, park) are tracked separately from one another.
